I spent part of today decorating the "mom" Christmas tree. I have never had to decorate a tree 360 degrees. It took every decoration that we had in red, white and green (and silver, as you'll note). We decorated in red downstairs, and upstairs, I bought kid-friendly colors.John's mom and dad gave us their "old" tree (they got a pre-lit one!)--and it's the perfect size for this room. The room isn't huge and has a sofa and piano in it. The box with the tree in it was full of goodies. It had 4 strings of lights (that all WORKED) and a surge protector in it! As I was putting the lights on, I told John, "We're going to need an extension cord!" John replied, "Dad sent you a surge protector." Wow. It was a complete tree in a box! Lucky me.
The kids are MOST excited about the advent calendar (seen here on the console table). Asa is not thrilled he has to wait until December 1st to get his candy!Asa helped me decorate the tree today and he helped choose the bags and boxes that went into the windows.
Next up... John gets to light and the kids get to decorate the family tree. They are fighting over... I mean, enjoying, the experience as I write.

Where did you guys move to? It looks like a nice new house. I love decorating for Christmas. My 2 1/2 year old is sooo much fun this year. He is having a hard time not touching the tree. :)
I don't know what I'd do if I had to decorate a whole Christmas tree! I always put it in a corner so I only have to do the showy half.
