Christmas has been slow to come to our house. We have been so wrapped up in trying to survive day to day life that I thought it was going to sneak up on us.
I did have all my shopping done until I realized today that companies are trying to ruin Christmas and my orders are not coming. That will be another blog post once I get it all hopefully sorted out.
What we didn’t have done though was we had not put up our Christmas tree. Seeing as it’s the only decorating we do it doesn’t take long. We just have not been able to find the time. Until this week-end.
Friday we went and visited Santa at the mall. Big Brother was super excited and could barely stand still in the line. Thankfully there were only 3 people in front of us. He did awesome with Santa. Even Little Brother did awesome, as in he slept the whole time he was in Santa’s arms. He did wake up right after screaming so had us running to feed him.
Saturday we finally said enough is enough and we made the time to get the tree up. This meant Big Brother got to stay up past his bedtime. Lucky for us it was not a school night. Getting the tree up was hilarious. Big Brother could not stay still long enough. He ended up helping put the tree together then decorated it all on his own. I wasn’t allowed to help as I am sick and have been banished to either my bed or the couch. It’s not how I would decorate a tree but it is decorated with love by a 4 year old. For that I will say it is a gorgeous tree and he did a great job.
That was our excitement of the week-end. How was your week-end? Did you do anything exciting?
