We're decorating our house and the Christmas tree tonight and I'm beyond excited. I'm so excited that it was worth trekking down to scary underworld (a.k.a. our basement) this morning to bring a few things up.We're waiting until Joe gets home before opening anything but Madeline wants to open the mysterious boxes so badly. I finally had to re-stack them in a corner and shoved the couches together.
But I'll admit, the suspense is killing me, too. However, I'm not doing myself any favors by listening to Christmas music literally all day long.
I looked away for two seconds to take a picture of Madeline hovering over the stack and by the time I looked up, she already opened a box and was giving me her standard "I know I just committed a crime but can I please, please continue?" look.
It's hard to say no to.
But that's how much I love decorating as a family and making it an event.Sigh. Is it 5 p.m. yet?
And I want to make these so badly. I'll let you know how they go.

We should have a Christmas decoration making Linden Lady Party! :) OOOOH How much fun would that be?!
If you figure out to make those, make me a few :-) I'm trying to be a nurse and don't have time to be a crafty mom (that's two "p's" away from being too busy...think about that one). I'm not bitter that you have time for fun...whatever. Anyway, I've been a bad commenter lately. I just want to say all of your recent posts have kept me highly entertain and they got me through this week. I have lots of love for you :-)
Excuse all of my typos! I just watched Off the Record: Britney Spears, and I think her insanity rubbed off.
Those ornament hanging thingys look cool, they reminded me of these which are also pretty:

We have all of our decor up. Actually we put up our tree the weekend before Thanksgiving. We are leaving the 19th to be in Indy so I wanted to be able to enjoy our tree! So maybe I'll see you around :).
