I know, I know this is incredibly early to be doing a Christmas post, but yep thats right...our Christmas tree is up! I usually wait until the week of Thanksgiving to put up all my Christmas decorations but I didn't think I would be feeling up to it this year with a newborn and all. Soooo, we did our Christmas tree last night and I am doing the rest of my decorating tomorrow. I even talked Thiago in to doing the Christmas lights on the house this Saturday. So come Monday (baby day), every thing will be ready.
We had to get a new tree this year. We had a perfectly, nice tree but it was way to big to fit in the tiny little spot it had to go in. We got a new entertainment center and it is a lot longer than our previous one so we needed a skinnier tree. We ended up getting it at Tai Pan. The first one we brought home and tried to set up on Monday night but come to find out it had two branches full of lights that were not working. Sooo, after Thiago did a whole lot of cussing (not really, he was just mad) and I cried for awhile (those crazy pregnancy hormones) and Carson went around saying "naughty tree" for the rest of the night, we decided to pack it back up and take it back. The new one is just perfect though, don't you worry.
Carson of course, loved every minute of tree decorating. He loves taking the ornaments out of their boxes and looking at them all. He sat on the floor making up conversations between the different ornaments while Thiago helped me with the ribbon and beads. We still haven't gone and gotten our new ornaments for this year, that will have to wait a few more days.
Carson and the finished product!! I don't think the picture does it justice, it really turned out so pretty. Tis the season....let the Christmas spirit begin!!

Love the new tree and especially I love Carson's slippers. What a kid, glad he had fun decorating. I'm with you, let the season begin!!! Good luck Monday, you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
I love christmas, that makes me want to put up mine too. I changed my email address so I was just testing to make sure the comments people made were going to the right one. :)
Yeah! I love it! I am glad the tree and everything worked out! Don't forget to call me when you have that baby! I am so excited for you! I will e-mail you Nicks cell phone number too!
Looks good Teri. Good job with the ribbon. Its so nice to get Christmas done. Tomorrow thats my project. I can't believe 5 days and my baby Lincoln will be here. Carson looks like he enjoyed himself. No surprise though.
It looks great! I am having to hold myself back from not putting our tree up. I might make it another week, but who knows it could happen tonight!
Good luck on Monday! We are so excited to see this cute little guy!
I would have done the same thing! I can't believe you will have little Lincoln on Monday! That is so exciting! Also I love your Christmas tree you guys did a great job at decorating!
Carson looks like a Christmas cookie or something in those pajamas I love them! You didn't tell me about your tree fiasco, I can just picture that whole scene you crying, him cussing and Cars telling the tree it's naughty, would have been fun to be a fly on the wall for that one!
That's really fun that you have your tree up, I don't think Benton would go for that quite yet. I think your really smart to have everything ready before you have your baby, it's a lot of work getting ready for the holidays, so I think that's very wise! It's a really pretty tree, I like how it's decorated.
I could learn a lot from you... seems like you are ALWAYS on the ball. I don't own one decoration. I wish... good luck on Monday!!
OOOO.. the girl you saw at Tai Pan was my sister Melanie.. people get us confused all the time.
Teri - that post just made me want to go put up my tree. I have been considering it and I think this just sealed the deal!! I LOVE CHRISTMAS time sooooo much. And I think that it's better to put it up before Thanksgiving. It helps make the holidays last longer and you can enjoy them more. Adorable tree. Thanks for sharing.
good luck on everything !! 4 more days?! I am so excited for you!! The Tree looks great!!
I'm glad you got the tree up. Now you will be able to enjoy the holiday and little Linclon. It turned out really good.
Oh funny funny naughty tree! That is a quite an eventful decorating story! I can't believe you are having lincoln Monday it seems like you just posted you were preggo! Could you email me your address I have a lilttle something for your boys jessicawach01@aol.com
Can you even contain yourself with all the excitement that must be brewing; a christmas tree, decorations, and a newborn on Monday! Nothing wrong with starting the holidays a little early. By the way, your blog inspires me :)
