Well, it's five days until Christmas, and we have been busy! We finally got our tree up a few weeks ago, and I am so excited to have our first Christmas tree in our new house! Not only do we have the perfect front room and front window for it, we have taller ceilings in this house so we were able to get the big tree that I want to get every year and we never can!
We actually ended up being a little overzealous and the tree was too tall for this room. We thought about leaving it in the entry way, but in the end I really wanted it in front of the window so S had to get out the saw and bring it down to size a bit!
Decorating the tree is a tradition I look forward to every year. I love going through our old ornaments and explaining their meaning to the kids. With that being said, as much as I love it, giving young children fragile ornaments to hang on tree branches stresses me out, and add in that our new floors our all tile...... well, I think we are lucky that we got out of it with only three broken balls!
I also managed to get all of our Christmas baking done, despite being a million months pregnant. It took me two days of baking and I exhausted, but we ended up with lots of yummy treats to give to all of our friends and neighbors... not to mention plenty of leftover for this pregnant mama to snack on!
And now I"m going to try and spend the next five days relaxing and soaking up the end of the season!
