Did someone say DECORATIONS?!?!
Generally I put up decorations the weekend after Thanksgiving, but DH had an unexpected Sunday off last weekend so we struck while the iron was hot & put the tree up then.
This is the first year since Turtle was born that we've had a tree. I decided to go with an artificial tree -that's what we had when I was growing up & I actually do have a place to store it when the holidays are over. I must say, I LOVE having a pre-lit tree! Maybe some year we will do a real tree, but this will do for now.

| Adding ornaments was lots of fun! |

| DH thought that not ALL the ornaments should be hung on the bottom 2 feet of the tree |

| The final product |

At Christmas time, you can find almost anything your heart desires boxed up and ready to give......
Even Turtles!
Just a bit of decorating now to finish, but the rest of the holiday assignments left to do are
- Finish gift shopping
- Mailing domestic gifts
- Charge batteries for the camera
How are your holiday preparations going?
