Getting Geared Up for Christmas

Here are some pictures from the weekend when we were decorating for Christmas. Please do not confuse our family with one of those you see in the Norman Rockwell paintings! While we are very happy, we are FAR from perfect! While I am going to enjoy this Christmas, it is not going to be my perfect Christmas. I know it should be, because I just got the daughter of my dreams! It's just that they haven't perfected the cloning machine yet! As soon as they do, I will have the perfect Christmas, because I will be able to spend every bit of it with everyone that I love! WOW! I wish they would hurry up and invent it, I could get a whole lot of work done, AND spend all day with my girl! Oh well, as long as the kids think that Christmas is perfect, that is all that matters to me. I'm having fun gearing up any way. Enjoy the pictures!

Little Miss Merry Christmas!

I'm down with ya brother!

A Seasonal Delicacy

This picture cracks me up! Can you feel the love?

We got a new train this year! No more ugly blue track!

This is the practice track setup, before they put it around the tree.

Ana stealing Tyler's bankie!

Proof that Randy is a patient dog.

Ana's job was to open drawers and put things in and pull them out.

Tyler was the "tree manager". It was his job to oversee the building of the tree.

Ana was there to catch him in case he fell.

Joe kept a lookout for elves.

Quigley hung out on the foot stool.

Time for another cheezit!


William tops off the tree with a star.

I'm just going to tell her that the tree shrinks every year. She doesn't have to know she is growing!

The finished tree!

William was the train track manager. Everyone did their jobs well!

Is Baby Ana a little bit jealous of the dog? I still can't figure out if Dominick is jealous of our dogs or he just likes to push them off my lap for fun.

That is the coolest train, you must be the coolest step-mommy in the world. And your tree is beautiful.

LOL! It probably WILL be the perfect christmas, I just don't want to set myself up for a fall.

Like you said, if the children have joy in their eyes(and they already do!), then it's a perfect Christmas.

Looks like everyone had fun getting the tree ready!

Sis: What a wonderful series of pictures and what a beautiful family. Our Christmas Princess and her Prince Bro's. The boys were doing a good job helping it looked like from the pictures. The tree is very beautiful. Ana looked sleepy. Send me an email about what time I should be there on Saturday.
Love, Mom
