I like to do a theme on my tree, sometimes it happens and sometimes not. This year Miss M chose our blue lights and so we have a snowman-snowflake-ocean themed tree (ocean because we always put our turtles and octopus on the tree).
When I was first decorating it I had my vertigo and after dropping my second glass ornament and shattering it, I thought it best to finish the decorating when I could stand with out my world spinning around me.
Miss M chose the cute snowman ribbon as our finishing touch.
Miss A we try to NOT let into the toy room (where the tree is). She wants and succeeds at taking anything off the tree she can get her little hands on. She certainly lives up to her nickname "Slippy or Slippery"
However, I seem to have broken more of the ornaments than she has. (My mom reminds me that this too is something I seem to do EVERY Christmas, and then goes on to tell the story of how I decapitated her ceramic-dipped-in-cinnamon-Christmas- almost-life-size-baby-deer I believe I was well over 20 when I did that!)
OH, and look at the B E L I E V E blocks in the picture. I have ALWAYS wanted a sign or blocks saying that. This summer Mr. K and I were in the Brown Elephant (a thrift store in Chicago) and I saw those blocks STILL in their wrapper. The original price tag was $29.99.
I would have paid $2.00 for them, but Mr. K's friend gave us a 50% off coupon... ONE whole dollar for those brand new blocks!!! WOO to the HOO!!
I love a good deal.
