Last year Parker surprised me and bought this beautiful Christmas Tree. He carried it in the house and set it up all by himself. When I got home with the kids we were all so excited!!! I love surprises and this one was perfect.

This year I was SO excited to decorate for Christmas and especially to get out my treasured tree. I've had my Christmas decorations (lights on my house and all) up since November 5th. I know, kind of crazy, but I love the feeling that it brings to my home. We already have wrapped presents under the tree and the kids have been so good about leaving them alone. They ask me a couple times a day if it's Christmas, or if they can open just one, but I think this is good for them to be patient.
