Tree Trimming...

We decorated our very dead tree this weekend. I say dead, because I think it was cut a couple of months ago, and isn't drinking any water. It was the first time we've actually bought a tree. In the past Eric and his dad would "acquire" a tree in the depths of darkness from an undisclosed location near here, but this year they didn't do it. That is the last time we buy a tree on a lot, we'll cut them from now on! It sheds like crazy! But it doesn't matter, its a beautiful tree and it will be down by boxing day's end! Here are some pics of the girls decorating it this year:

Much of our time was spent
taking Gillian off the furniture.

And the final product:

I have to take a better shot - without the stool!

It's so fun to see Abby get so into Christmas this year. She is singing Christmas songs, knows all about Frosty the Snowman and Rudolf, and even sings "Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Batman smells and Robin laid an egg...." nice.
