Deck'n The Halls

I am joining the Blogging Bandwagon and adding a festive background to my blog. We'll see how long I can stand being all cute and trendy! I think backgrounds always look really busy on my blog that is why I have never done them, but my old template is really boring and ten million bloggers use that template. So here is the new look. What do you think? Should I go back to my old one or keep up with the blogging trend and change it up every so often? Whatever...

We got our house all decked out for Christmas. We are getting our big tree tonight. My brother is bringing it back from Utah. They cut it down for us. I love the smell of live trees. Sorry to all you tree huggers out there, the Christmas tree candle doesn't do it for me. We'll probably decorate our other tree tomorrow. We already put up the kids tree. That is the tree I don't get all crazy about. The kids can rearrange the ornaments fifty times a day and hang all sorts of home made (we'll just call it stuff) all over it. Two trees makes everyone happy. I get my pretty tree with my do not touch ornaments with white lights and the kids get to have the fun colored lights and mismatch ornaments.

  1. so much fun!!! I wish we had room for two trees. I want to have the kids tree and then my tree. I get so anal about the ornaments, so far I have done pretty good this year, I just fix them when he goes to bed, but two trees would be so nice. I am with you on the real trees smell better, but I am allergic and can not stop sneezing... :O) Enjoy your real tree smell, and Ill just enjoy my candle. :O)

  3. I think your background is darling, and I love your idea for two trees. That is what my mom did the last few years, and someday I really want to when we have room-- I REALLY want a pretty, fancy tree!
    I had to laugh at your comment about Paige. Jessa does that kind of thing all the time. Today in sacrament meeting she was spinning circles saying "weeee!" I had to try really hard not to laugh out loud. Sometimes it's really hard to have to make your kids stop doing such cute things!
