It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas

We put up our tree last week, and just now able to write a blog about it. Derek came home after work and decided we should put the tree up, since we would be busy this weekend making cookies. Saffron was fast asleep on the couch when we first started. Derek had the tree just about up before we woke her up. She was so surprised to see it up, it did not take her too long before she joined in on the fun! Sebastian was there to help out in the beginning, then he got too tired so I laid him down. I'm sure that next year he will be right next to his sister putting the ornaments on the tree and not just taking them off!

Little does she know.....that Santa's tree is going up right across from where she is sleeping...........

"WOW mom, what are all these shiny new things???"

"Sebastian these are our Christmas ornaments, they will go onto the tree once daddy puts it up!"

"One of my Christmas stars mommie!"

Saffron had so much fun opening all the boxes of ornaments, and I was surprised she had remembered some of them from last year!

Sebastian standing guard and making sure daddy does a good job

Notice how she's only decorating the very, very bottom!

"Oh, these are my favorite ones mommy, look how pretty they are!"

Notice the middle of the tree is completely bare!

"Look at the good job I did mom....the tree is so beautiful!"

A close up of Saffron's decorating skills!

After all the ornaments were on the tree I went back and made sure all the ones that might break were out of little hands reach, and then proceeded to spread out the ornaments a little....

"So how does it look ma??"

"Yawn.....I think it's time I go to bed mom!"

And our very special ornament we place on our tree every year to remember our two angle babies who can't be with us...

you will remain in our hearts always......

"Happy Holidays!!"
