Finally a Tree

Since we were all not feeling very well, putting up our christmas tree was a little late this year. Last weekend, Ricky was able to go out and pick out our tree. Since Savannah and I were still a bit under the weather, we waited at home for daddy to bring a good looking tree home. We usually go out and pick one out as a family, but things were not like that this year. As soon as daddy got home, the tree was placed in its stand. Savannah immediately pulled over a chair and sat right beside the tree for almost a half hour. She continued to say, "This tree is beautiful, this is a beautiful tree, daddy." This made Ricky so happy, since if it were up to me, we would have an artificial tree.

Later that evening, I started off the decorating but putting the white christmas lights all around the tree. I love a well lit white lighted christmas tree.

After the lights, Savannah and daddy did a majority of the balls and the ornaments. Savannah again loved to decorate the tree and so far she has done pretty well with leaving the tree alone and not messing with it.
If you are wonding why Savannah has her halloween butterfly costume on, she is going through a phase I guess. She loves to wear this daily now and this is one of those battles I choose to not fight with her.
Here we are decorating the tree. I just realized that I do not have a picture of the final tree. I will have to post that just as soon as I take the picture. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
