Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

This year marked the first time EVER that our Christmas tree went up before it was even December. Some of Santa's elves brought us a beautiful fresh-cut tree on November 28, and the night of the 29th was the only night Jon was going to be home for over a week so we had to act fast. Anna helped me get the Christmas tubs out of storage while Jon was at work, and Sunday night we all decorated. Well, Jon and I put up the lights, and then the kids took over. With three kids working, (Jonathan was more interested in Lilo and Stitch) that tree was done within 20 minutes. It has been nice to have the tree up all this time, especially since it smells terrific. I love to sit in the living room at night with the rest of the lights off and just watch the twinkling.

Your tree looks awesome all lit up! I think 20 minutes for decorating has got to be a world record :)
