Decorations....at any cost

We arrived home from our wonderful Thanksgiving weekend and hit the (Wilmington) ground running!  We got home, unpacked and jumped back into the car to get our Christmas tree.  We knew we would all be home Tuesday to decorate the tree. We wanted to get it, so it would have a chance to sit in the stand before decorating. 
"This is the PERFECT tree!!!"
Our family 2010

Tuesday afternoon we decorated our 2010 Christmas tree.  Each year, Charlie and I reminisce about our first married Christmas together.  We decorated our first tree as a married couple...we were so proud of it!  Even got it at Lowe's!  We sat down to a piping hot bowl of chili and bam!...tree hit Charlie right square in the back.  Nine years later, we're putting up a Christmas tree (in a different, much larger home) with our two, beautiful, healthy children.  Amazing... 

I digress...  Charlie wanted to get some of the lights hung on the house Tuesday afternoon as well.  We (really, he, because I don't have a part in the light-hanging on the house) was having trouble getting the lights to stay on the A-frame roof of our house.  So...he comes inside with a "I think I figured it out!"  And he did....




"Are you crazy?!" his loving wife exclaimed. 

Eliza and I did some Christmas shopping on Thursday together, which ended in a lovely, mother/daughter meal at the none other, Chick-fil-a. 

We're all ready for a nice Saturday together.  We're planning on finishing up the lights and decorations outside and inside.  I've heard we might have some snow flurries in Wilmington Sunday morning...we shall see.... 

I have to include a couple more pictures.  Anyone that knows me well, knows that not only is our house decorated from Halloween to Easter, but so are our children.  Here are a couple more pictures to enjoy....
