FINALLY The Tree is Up!

I’ve been saying for several days now that we’re going to decorate the Christmas tree, but this afternoon, we FINALLY did it! This is our first year with an artificial tree. We’ve always used real trees, which I have loved, but their one downfall is that I have to wait until a ways into December before I can put one up! So we rocked a fake tree this year, and while I love having it up early, I admit that I’m a bit sad that it doesn’t look the same. Our tree is gorgeous! Its lush and very real looking, but its not the little charlie brown tree that I’m used to. Its darker. Weirdly, I think it’ll be an adjustment for me to love it. But either way, I know I should just be very thankful I have it at all 🙂 I love having the Christmas tree up.

Other than that, we did the rest of our Christmas decorating. Its not much at all, considering we’re trying to sell the house and have to be ready for a showing at a moments notice. The less clutter the better, always. But we did the few things we had decided one, and besides that, we’re just trying to keep our poinsettias alive. Easy peasy, and festive.

We had a SUPER yummy supper of potatoes and this delicious lemon pepper fish from Costco (that I haven’t been able to find in ages) and now we are tired and sluggish and ready for bed. Rowan has been having a rough go on his milk today, since he can’t breathe and all, so we’re hoping he takes after his siblings and sleeps his sickness off rather than waking up a hundred and one times in the night. He looks sleepy to me!

Now that our tree is up, it looks more Christmassy out here 🙂 When can I wrap presents for under the tree?! I’m so ready!!!
