Decorating the Tree

Here is our lovely Christmas tree as it looks today. With a 5 year old and a toddler running amok, it is a work in progress, as it will be until we take it down.

Andrew chose this cute little truck for his new 2009 ornament.

Valerie chose this darling dinosaur, complete with eyelashes.

All that's left to do before the guests arrive on Christmas Eve--besides the cleaning, cleaning, cleaning of the house--is to wrap the kids' gifts and bake some cookies. Keeping it simple this year is really working. I'm a little stressed, but really taking the time to play and cuddle with my kiddos each day. I can't seem to get enough of them, lately. Even with all the running amok.
