'Tree Trek' Tree--trimmed!

Though we have had our beautiful tree for the past few weeks--time has not been in our side as far as actually decorating it.  That said, we spent Saturday early afternoon digging out our 'holiday cheer'  See the results below:


Brian's system of attic organization:




A few of our ornaments ready to be placed.  In case you did not know (as Brian did not)  THERE IS A SYSTEM!  All ornaments need to be removed from their paper, organized by size and color--then placed in an organized fashion.  (one would not want a collection of blue stars all in one place, right?  Well....apparently some would!)






Please note the 'Sam' ornament...





Amazing how little I like being on the other side of the camera--especially in PJ's...did I mention its afternoon?





So...after explaining the 'system' involved in tree-trimming...'we' decided this may enhance Brian's experience with it...





Bri's assistant #1...





I am not convinced Rox enjoyed being 'trimmed' (note pleading eyes...)





Nor did Sam appreciate his Christmas sweater...





 Bri's crew (by the way..I did decorate too...not just supervise...I swear!)





A few of my fave ornaments...














BABY ROX'S FIRST CHRISTMAS




ok...so this is what our stockings typically look like as long before Bri, Sam was the only 'man of the house'...one for me...one for him...




Bri decided this year...that was changing and replaced them with this.  Need I say whom this belongs too???





Meanwhile in the oven something fabulous was baking.  (Note to self--no more Food Network or we are going to have a serious problem..)  Hello my first attempt at breadpudding!




The final tree results...




And the stocking were re-hung by the chimney with care...







MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
