I did it and it finally feels like Christmas!!! I don't know who made up the rule that we need to wait until December..... I can never wait that long!! I waited all day for zeppelin to come home from school so that we would put it up! We had a lot of fun. We put on Zeppelins new Micky mouse Christmas collection to sing along to..... Zeppelin was so cute, trying to sing along! Jasmine kept hanging a decoration on the tree and clapping at her major achievement, then taking it off, rearranging it, and clapping again.... so cute!! I usually have a Christmas train that goes around the bottom of the tree but no doubt Jasmine would annoy the crap out of me with it there.
So this was our after school adventure:
Zeppelin thought this little tiny hat was hilarious! (on Jasmine's head). We will put it aside for a mouse.
Zeppelin had to wear the hat.........
Choosing the next ornament.
Finished product!!!
My gifts came early xxxxx
