almost like Christmas

sometimes you grasp at straws and life is a lot like trying to eat soup with a fork. and sometimes the kids jump on the bed in the morning showering you with giggling and cuddling and you fall in love with them all over again.

Sunday in momsterland. introducing our 3 year-old artificial tree.

by the way. I not only suck at shopping. I also suck at Christmas tree decorating.

their smiles state otherwise...

Hey, we just put up our tree, too! And you do not suck at Xmas tree decorating. In fact, I'm not sure it's even possible to suck at it...any Xmas tree is an automatic smile generator. ;)

I don't think the kids complain too much about the tree. It's the presents under the tree that they are after. Muahahahahah.

I loathe Christmas shopping. I think next year I'll do it all from the comfy chair I'm sitting in right now...clickity-click.

I think your tree looks great!

Oliver's got a snowsuit that makes him look like the Stay-Puff marshmallow man. Trying to buckle him into his car seat carrier when he's in it is trying at best.

Christmas I think even though I try to hide it is my favorite time of year. Wish the chance of snow her on the pacific west cost us. And the sparkle and the glam. I love to decorate but never do. Don't worry about the looks. Cut snow flakes with kids, and string up in the windows or around the tree. Dance and be mary there is magic in the air. All my best

Your boys look so much older in your recent pictures. The one's in front of the colored trees are priceless!

The tree looks great! I found a little 1 foot tree at the dollar store that Jerrett could decorate with whatever he wanted. He thinks it's cool that he has his own!

I like your cute little tree. Looks like a fun morning. I love decorating, though I'm not great at it either.

The tree looks great! This year we're using the stick "tree" that we made for displaying my hats at the market this summer, so you're already a lot better than I am at Christmas decorating!

I love the tree but the expressions are the best!

[carol]

You can't suck too badly - at least you HAVE a tree!

[melanie]

the decorations look like their doing their job to me -- stirring up that festive spirit! loving the smiles on those boys.

i also must say that i love the border around your series of pics, and the hazy, dreamy quality all your photos seem to have.

I see no signs of sucking in these photos. And those hamming boys are too cute.
