As is the new norm these days, we were a tad late in getting our tree this year because we had to find a time where ALL 8 of us would be able to go together.<\/p>\n

Mission nearly impossible.<\/p>\n

But, we squeezed it in between a big Testify concert and the littles Testify Too concert. \u00c2\u00a0And, as you can see, we had a couple of helpers too….Daniel and Elaina :)<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

We found just the right one, dropped off the littles, Payton, and Elaina at the concert. \u00c2\u00a0The others drove home, and Randy and I dropped the tree off at the house.<\/p>\n

Run back to the concert. \u00c2\u00a0Enjoy the concert (they did great!)…<\/p>\n

Gather everyone up, and head back home to decorate.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Trying out the ladders. \u00c2\u00a0If these were our first kids, we’d probably have a heart attack, thinking they might fall.<\/p>\n

But, we don’t scare easily anymore.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Clark (Griswald), wrapping about a zillion lights all around AND inside the tree. \u00c2\u00a0Cause, there has to be DEPTH of light. \u00c2\u00a0It’s a must.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

First ornament pictures. \u00c2\u00a0Another must.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n\"\"<\/a>\n\"\"<\/a>\n\"\"<\/a>\n\"\"<\/a>\n\"\"<\/a>\n\"\"<\/a>\n\"\"<\/a>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Given we started kinda late, it was late when we finished. \u00c2\u00a0Or, shall I say early? \u00c2\u00a012:30am, I believe.<\/p>\n

And, I don’t do late. \u00c2\u00a0Yawn.<\/p>\n

The kids were getting silly, too.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n\"\"<\/a>\n\"\"<\/a>\n\"\"<\/a>\n\"\"<\/a>\n\"\"<\/a>\n\"\"<\/a>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

House decorated. \u00c2\u00a0Tree up. \u00c2\u00a0Lights in trees outside. \u00c2\u00a0Presents (99.9%) bought. \u00c2\u00a0Presents (67.5%) wrapped.<\/p>\n

Merry Christmas :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
