Oh Christmas Tree!
While many folks I know avoid regular sized Christmas trees with toddlers, we decide to brave it. So far, so good! The girls LOVED the novelty of a TREE in the HOUSE, and had a lot of fun looking at and "helping" with the decorations. Every day, I do have at least 10 ornaments to rehang, but that seems pretty manageable!

All 3 admiring the lights
Emma loves it!

(I promise Delia was there too -- just didn't get any close ups of her this time!)
Busy Busy!
So many things going on around here! Today was Emma's preschool potluck, so this AM we baked banana bread and headed over for that. Chaos at first, coming in late and trying to get three kids worth of food plated up with nowhere to sit and without anyone wandering off (it was just me) but we managed! And once a table opened up we were golden. Elsie and Delia LOVE school and had a blast, as did Emma. Fun fun.
The last 3 nights I have been working madly on a crafting project that Lonnie and I are doing for the girls and I think my part is DONE! Can't wait to show you more eventually.
Tomorrow afternoon Grandma E and Grandpa T arrive from Bejing! Very exciting! Looking forward to doing lots of fun activities and outings with them (and possibly getting another date night, woo hoo!).
Gotta go. One more photo post coming now and then I HAVE to get to bed!
