The tree has been purchased (a 7.5 foot pre-lit jobber from Lowes), put up and decorated. The girls absolutely love it. This morning when they got up, the first thing Lily asked was, "Why isn't the Christmas Tree on?!" So we had to turn it on or risk a meltdown before 6 am. We were going to go the real tree route, but Saturday was just so cold and windy so Brandon finally, after at least seven years of resistance...gave in to the fake tree. It makes me sad, because I know he loves real trees. But I'm also beside myself happy with the fake tree. It's beautiful.
So, after we got the tree up...Sunday evening was spent trying to take a decent picture for our Christmas cards. Ay yi yi. 58 photos. That's how many we took just to get a decent one (or two...as you see above). We seriously need a remote for our camera. It's got a timer, which was handy and all...but all the running back and forth. Poor Brandon. I did it for a few sets and my legs are sore today. How sad is that?
So, just a few more weeks until Christmas. I can't wait to see the girls open presents. It's going to be a really great holiday. They're really at a fun age.

Love the pictures! And holler for a pre-lit fake tree....I love ours.
Adorable! I was just telling the husband last night while trying to design Christmas cards that I can't wait have kids so I can prop them up in front of a tree, take a picture, and be done with it.
Apparently it's more complicated than that. :o)
Love, love, love the pics!! And Brandon will get used to the fake tree - the cleanup is WAY easier at the end of the season!
The pictures are great! The girls just look TOO sweet!
