It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Riley has been so excited to put up the Christmas decorations. She actually began asking yesterday morning about 5 A.M. if we could put up the tree. When we returned home after a busy day yesterday, she said "now we can put up the tree." Mom and dad are a sucker for that little girl, so how could we say no? Before dinner the tree was up and shortly after eating it was very nicely decorated. Riley did a great job putting up the ornaments and only needed a little help. Daddy and Riley put on the star and then we put out most of the other stuff. I am proud to say that I only have a few things left. Mostly the breakable things like my grandma's nativity scene and santa's so she cannot help me with these anyway. She was a wonderful helper and Mike and I were actually glad that she got us moving (otherwise there would still be no tree up). There was only one casualty in decorating and we cannot even blame Riley for that one...silly tree threw a breakable ornament off and it must have hit something on the way down:( Our house looks all ready for Christmas and now it is time to make Riley's list to send to Santa....we have it all ready, but Riley doesn't think we can mail that little hot pink post-it note.
