For the first time ever, we have finally managed to put our Christmas tree up with enough time to actually enjoy it before it's time to take it down again. This year Wells is at probably the worst possible age for this sort of decoration. He is old enough to be able to do serious damage, but not old enough to understand why he shouldn't. Our final attempt at sanity was to put all the breakable ornaments on the top half where he couldn't reach (without a chair, that is) and all the non-breakables on the bottom. We comprimised by telling him that he could GENTLY touch the tree and the ornaments but wasn't allowed to take them off of the tree. We'll see how this goes. It could be a very long month for all of us (especially for me). None the less, we had fun and now our home looks very festive- BEFORE December even starts! Horray!

We put our tree up already too. So far Johnny isn't too interested in it, possibly because we don't have many decorations? I'm sure being a bit older than Wells helps, too. We'll see if it lasts...
My mom still puts the breakable ornaments on the top 1/2! She still doesn't trust us :) But it looks like your Thanksgiving was just perfect! I am glad everyone is healthy again and that Josh was able to spend the weekend with you guys!
