It's CHRISTMAS!!

Or... it's not even Thanksgiving yet! Despite the fact that it is a serious decorating faux pas, Josh and I put our tree up the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. It's just way more convenient, because I have the day off and can get all of the Christmas stuff out of the shed and move furniture and clean underneath furniture (that's where the dust brontosauruses live, we've moved way past dust bunnies). At least that's what we tell ourselves; truth of the matter is we do it before Thanksgiving because after our Branson trip we just can't wait any longer! I do absolutely love our tree... it's all white lights, and we start with gold garland stuff (can't think of what you call that stuff right now) and red bows (because that's how it always was in Josh's family) and then we add our ornaments, which we know I've got LOTS of! :) Last of all we add the icicles, which are probably my favorite part. By the end it just sparkles and sparkles. It makes me happy every time I come down the stairs and turn the corner and see it. So, here it is, in case it makes anyone else happy! :)
