Christmas lights & Trimming the Tree

(UPDATED)

I got one of the whole thing, minus the windows lit up :) I'm just a few fries short of a happy meal most days. Although it's still light out, you can see the driveway lights :)

The pictures SO DON'T do our house justice. We got LED lights and they are really bright. I didn't get the driveway because I gracefully crushed one of the lights during my attempt to take pictures.

Trinity's Princess castle. Alex would do, and does, pretty much anything he can to make his babies happy. :)

After being disappointed today by Wal-mart's HIGH PRICED Christmas trees, we got directions from a friend who knew of a good tree location in Vernon. So Alex dropped us girls off, so Elli could nap in her nice quiet bed and not Alex's thundering truck, and set out on his own personal adventure of finding our Christmas Tree. He was very successful! I can imagine the look on his face when he found the right one, a far off dreamy look similar to that of Chevy Chase in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. And not only did we get a save $30-$65 --minus the price of gas, which isn't much these day :)-- we got a much better and taller tree!

Trinity was a good help decorating the tree. She was so excited and kept regulating Eliana. I don't know if it shows much in the pictures, but we pretty much didn't put any ornaments on the bottom foot of the tree.

The finishing touch!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!
