Trimming the Tree
Did you miss me this weekend? I wasn’t out in the blogosphere much – but please forgive me – I was tackling my house! I missed you all, but I had a ton to do. Not only was the house in chaos, but I wanted to get the Christmas decorations up. My hubby did the outside lights and the kids and I did the inside. We had a ton of fun. (My basement is still in progress – I will be continuing to tackle it this week and will report to you all next week.) Starting out, things looked pretty scary.

Isn’t this tackle a fun ? Decorating a christmas tree, and especially with a little child. This I really miss. Now we also decorate our tree, but it’s not the same without bright child eyes.
Wow! Sure makes it fun having kids in the mix! Your tree and mantle are just gorgeous. Julia had a thing for the music didn’t she!! Your slide show was great too! Great job well done!
Beautiful tree and what a fun tackle! I love the slide show and Julia’s baggy jammies were a hoot. My tackle will be up later this morning:)
Looks wonderful! We’re debating whether or not to put up our tree this year with little Emily around. If we do, we’ll get to it when Adam is off this coming week. :0)
I’ll be back to visit everyone else’s post either later tonight or when Adam’s off this week.
It looks GREAT and it looks like the kids had a blast.
Oh how pretty!!! Someday I will have a house with a fireplace!
WOW that’s great your tree is amazing!!! Great job!
Someone is going to seriously teach me how to do that picture thing! I just love that!!!
Great tackle!!! – Mines on the way!
What a lovely tree. Nice job.
I did mine this weekend, more mess than anything else. LOL!
Beautiful tree! I wish my tackle could be that fun! The tree’s done at our house…minus a topper that I forget to look for every time I’m in a store
So pretty!! We actually had ours up right after Thanksgiving because we had rellies coming to visit this past weekend for a “Thanksmas” celebration. It’s so nice to have it done though, isn’t it? Now you can sit back and enjoy for the rest of the month.
You’re living room looks beautiful! We had such a great time decorating! So much fun with a little one!
Oh, looking at your decorations is giving me what I need to get my other stuff done. I have given myself permission to decorate on Saturday if I can get the toys and books rearranged. Okay, I can do this….I can do this!!!!
what a gorgeous tree! i hope you guys enjoy it completely!
ciao
Beautiful tree Janice! And Julia’s girliness is in no way diminished wearing boy pajama’s! :v)
Oh, so beautiful. My Tackle-it Tuesday is taking all week. Boxes of Christmas things hither and “yawn” while I slowly hobble about on this knee. But I’m determined to takle it lest it tackle me first!
Beautiful decorations! I love to see children helping. So many times the “mama” is in charge and doesn’t want help.
Three parties at my house in the next few weeks so I tackled my cooktop. Yuck!
Wow! Your livingroom looks lovely. I’m still cleaning the kitchen. Cute pics of the kids.
WOW! Your house is BEAUTIFUL! It looks so peaceful all decorated up! What cute dancers you’ve got there!

Awesom slide show, I watched it twice. I love it with the music included. It looks like Julia had fun dancing around and Jackson was a huge help. I love the PJ’s.
thanks for hosting this, I just joined in, it will really help motivate me!
what a cutie Julia is
youre lounge looks so pretty
your house looks AMAZING!
very pretty!
i didn’t do a tackle it tuesday this week, but i had to comment on how beautiful your tree is! we did ours this weekend too, it was a lot of fun, and it was the first time for the little guy, not that he knew what was going on. don’t you just love christmas?? happy holidays!
Your tree is beautiful. And so is your house.
I love the slide show. Can you do a “How to do a cool slide show on your blog” lesson one day? That’s really neat!
How beautiful your tree and house is…… Love the cool slide show…
tackle it Tuesday [and I'm receiving this on Wednesday]! This is the kind of thing that damages a mum’s psyche, reinforcing that I’m already [permanently ] behind. I hope this isn’t a campaign to mock the afflicted [translation = make fun of the time challenged] No! I know, it’s motivational – you have a whole week [translation = 6 days] to get your act together before next Tuesday! [see we foreigners can get through in the end with a little help from our American pals]
Cheers
Dare I ask? [translation required {sub translation = respectfully requested}] Why week 28? What time zone are we in? [translation = galaxy?]
Cheers – the ignorant one
