O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, Please don't fall on me!

The Gingerbread tree we made with Grandma


Our naked  tree





This is Thing 2 saying "cheese" for the camera. When ever he sees one he yells 'Cheese!"

Happy Valentines Day, I mean, Merry Christmas!!

Our Christmas tree is the tallest one I think we've ever had. And I think our base was not prepared for the Goliath that we brought home. So stressful trying to get it straight. Jeff and I took turns turning the pins in the base. When I decided to have a go at it Jeff went to get Casey out of his highchair so I patiently waited laying under the tree in needles, sap and probably some spiders. Then I yell for him to hurry thinking of all the spiders making theirselves at home in my hair. He yells for me to just start and I tell him I didn't want the tree to fall on me. He said to just go so I begin. And 3 seconds later... it fell on me. So I said "That's it! Attach it to the wall!" So we now have a hook in our wall with twine wrapped around the tree so it won't fall over any more. Jeff helped with the lights but other than that Benny and I put the tree up all by ourselves. I even put our angel on top. I love our tree this year.  Jeff calls it the Valentines tree.

    Your tree is so pretty! I didn't even notice that it is attached to the wall :)

My current obsession

Raising Cain, The Emotional Lives of Boys. Read it, just do it. It's only 258 pages long and it will change how you view and interact with boys. If you have a boy in your life, whether you're a parent, teacher, mentor or friend, you need to read this.
"...But as their manuscript progressed, Kindlon and Thompson realized a simple "how-to" would not do. "In the end," they write, "we found that the best advice we had to offer was simply to understand boys as they truly are ­ rather than as they appear or as we wish them to be. Our deepest wish is to pull aside the curtain boys so tenaciously draw around themselves and offer you a look inside their hearts and minds. If we succeed, we hope that you will see more clearly the ways in which our culture conspires to limit and undermine their emotional lives. We hope you will understand boys better, and above all, we hope you will enjoy them more"
