As most Americans do, (my Can-American self included) we decorated our house this past weekend after Thanksgiving. This was the first year, since having kids, that I decided to put the ornaments all the way to the bottom of the tree. (In years past we only decorated the top half because little hands liked to remove the ornaments.) Well it worked out fine, for a few minutes anyway.
Here is Maya helping place ornaments on the tree...
And here is Declan...(notice how we had to cut the feet out of his pjs because his ginormous feet wouldn't fit in there any longer!)
Now here they are taking the ornaments OFF the tree.
The final product...
I'm sure some day all of the ornaments will stay where they were originally placed. Right?!
This was also the first time in 3 years that we have put Christmas lights on our house. (Obviously the kids kept us really busy in years past!) Jeremy did not have the proper equipment to repel down our mountainous roofline so he only placed lights on our landscaping instead. Perhaps next year we can borrow our friend Tony's boom-lift so we can go all Griswold on the neighborhood! Until then, baby steps...
We are extremely busy this week with three get-togethers at our house, Jeremy's company Christmas party, and much more so I have to keep this blog short and simple.
But one more thing before I go. I have only been to the gym 3 times in the past 2 weeks (I think) and I have been feeling pretty yucky about it. I stepped on the scale last night to see how much I had gained and to my surprise, I lost another 2 lbs. The crazy thing is, I haven't seen that number on the scale in 10 years and even back then it was short lived! I was so happy that I just had to share my excitement with you. My quest is not over though so I just need to stay focused and not be tempted by all of the baking I am doing for other people!
Have a great weekend. Check back next week for more Christmas decor pictures.

Cute tree, we are getting ours this weekend. I have been wondering how Alexis will do with it.
Good job with losing more weight.
Looking forward to our tree decorating to come soon! Your house looks great...I've been putting a bug in Ryan's ear about doing some outside lights this year. We'll see!! ;) Christmas decor is always "fun" with little ones around!!
Great blog with great pictures and great news on your weight loss. I love the decorations and of course I love seeing pictures of the kids. Miss you guys soooooo much. Some Christmas in the near future we have to spend it together!
