46 days and counting....

No, I didn't pull out my calendar to figure out exactly how many days we have until Christmas. I just asked Josh, who has had a Christmas Countdown App on his iphone for the past two months. Things are progressing just as one would expect. The tree went up, was perfectly fluffed and an extra thousand lights were added. Most children spend their mornings eating breakfast but this is how my little elves spend theirs:

Little by little decorations have been appearing. Most of them while I'm gone. Monday I came home to a partially decorated tree. Last night I returned from Mom's Night (also known as Tuesday's Wine Binge Fest) and garland was wound up the staircase. Today Josh decided to make the most out of his "sick day" and hit up Target for more essentials. I came home this evening to a well-lit bannister. Luckily, we have so many lights up using the ones that are actually installed in the ceiling has become completely unnecessary! Here's a picture of the tree as it stands now (don't worry...those small ornaments will make their way up to the top where they belong! Has anyone ever heard of a little thing called balance?!?)
