They had so much fun and my tree looks BEAUTIFUL!! I found some really cute ornament balls at a local craft store that looked like Santa's belly. I fell in love--until I looked at the price. $6.99 each--WHAT THE?! Rip off!! Then my crafty husband said that he could make me some with black electrical tape and a silver glitter glue pen. And sure enough--he did it!! They are SO cute!!

Deck The Halls--Or I My Case, The Home
Well--we finally got the Christmas tree and decorations up on Friday. The kids were so excited they could hardly contain themselves. I, on the other hand, was a little apprehensive because we bought a new tree last year after Christmas (let me just say that I got a $400 tree for $99--whoo hoo) and I wasn't sure if I would be able to get it together by myself. It was heavy and tall (7.5 feet) but I managed. My husband helped where he could and I was thankful for that. The kids were so excited to decorate the new tree. I made them go one at a time at first so I could get pictures.
