Mommy Mia's World

We finally put our Christmas tree up last weekend. Normally, we put it up the weekend after Thanksgiving. Due to inclement weather that weekend, we had to wait until the next weekend to see if we could find a decent looking live tree in the woods on some land my family owns. Unfortunately, due to the horrible drought this past year, we were unable to find a decent looking tree. So, out of the attic came the artificial tree.

My 4 year old son was amazed that we had a tree that came out of the box in pieces. He helped us get the colors sorted out so we could put it together. He was in awe-all he had ever seen were the live trees we usually put up. We finally got it together and it looked pretty good for an artificial tree. Next up were the lights. We put the lights on the tree and followed them with the ornaments that we had purchased earlier in the year. We have quite an array of ornaments: craft ornaments made by my stepchildren, military ornaments, light up ornaments, and the regular old plastic ball ornaments.

Are you ready for the xmas holiday season? I am definitely ready. My family loves the Christmas holidays. We get to spend time with our family and attend church to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
