Are you ready?
It went up without issue.
Seriously.
I know, I'm still in shock.
The lights- 1 try. You read that right. O-N-E.
The ornaments-
Pooh didn't smirk at me.
Caydie did try and eat pooh (the bear people, the bear) but it is her first Christmas and he apparently made a sudden move.
It has been fully decorated about 2 hours now and she has only taken 1 more bite from the tree- no wonder the dog has stomach issues!
I would say this is a definite success. So really there is nothing else to blog about. Disappointing, I know. But for the first time in 11 years- I have victory over the Christmas tree!
Unless of course I just jinxed myself and it falls in the middle of the night
No Ornament Nazi to be found:
Kels wants new earrings for Christmas:
The littlest angel puts on the Angel:
If Snoopy can have lights on his doghouse~ So can Caydie!
Merry Christmas!

Glad this years tree went up so well. Guess Pooh figured you could use a break. Looks really nice. A
fa-la-la-la-la to the Cranwells ! !
Merry Christmas !
Love,
Mom & Dad
Hi Shell, Great job decorating and documenting the event! A girl after my own heart. My favorite pic is Colin decorating, and Kels w/the "earrings". Guess that 's two. Does Kels have pierced ears?
Love, Elaine
PS oh and Caydie's decorated crate too.
I could not love Caydance's crate even a teeny bit more! So classic! If only I liked Cooper even just a little bit I'd make his world merry. But I don't. So I won't.
I'd like to hear the kids' version of tree decorating. As in, are the ornaments still in the same arragement tomorrow morning; did you really let them not only touch the ornaments but actually hang them on the tree *or* is that a Photoshop cut-and-paste. I'm only asking ... from one Ornament Nazi to another. Perhaps there is hope for me as well.
Deb you know me too well! I *did* let them hang them (I only gave little suggestions (ie: "Hey Col, instead of 4 blue ornaments on this one branch, how about we spread it out?") And I only moved a few last night after everyone went to bed. That's progess baby!
Tree looks great! Good job kiddos!
Shell,
It gets easier with age---you know that "just letting it go" and "it'll be ok". The kids did a FABULOUS job! Love the dog crate!!
Love,
The former Ornament Nazi, Julie
The tree is awesome!!! I can't believe I haven't visited your blog until now.
Great job...and Caydie must be so proud. A true member of the family now xo
