Okay.... so I won't continue to force you to listen to Neil Diamond while you read my blog. Although... you have to admit.... you like it too! Anyway, I did in fact get the tree up ... with some help from the kids. 1 tree up.... 3 to go!!!! We don't have a huge house or anything... and all the rooms are actually quite small... no big open spaces like in those new homes... but I do manage to fit as many Christmas trees in the house that I can!!! Both kids need one in their rooms don't ya know! Anyway, I love Christmas and this year I am determined to be much more prepared than I have been in the past. I'm hoping to actually enjoy the Christmas season and not feel like I'm running around totally unprepared the whole time and completely miss all that is so special about it!!!! Anyway... here's a few pictures from putting the tree up!!!! And by the way.... guess I was wrong about the gallbladder thing. Mine is functioning less than 10% so looks like it might be coming out soon! Shows what I know..... I sure didn't think it was my gallbladder!!! At least I'm not crazy..... I knew I was not feeling quite right.... and I'm also now wondering about what I went through a year ago.... being so sick... I'm wondering if I didn't have some sort of infection there.... who knows... I might ask them and see what they say about that! They still need to call me back and let me know when my appt. is for my surgical consult.... I wonder how long it takes to get in there!!! Seems like everything to do with healthcare takes FOREVER!!!! I don't get it.... it is very frustrating to me! I agree healthcare does need to be reformed.... just not in the way that our friend Barack has in mind!!!!! How about we stop the insane lawsuits.... then maybe things would start to look up!!!! Okay.... let's stop me now on the healthcare issue.... it's one close to my heart!!! Anyway.... back to the joy of Christmas.... right.... yeah... even though we haven't made it through Thanksgiving!!!!









Trying to put the hangers on the ornaments!

Raegan at school this morning in her new Hannah Montana outfit. It was suppose to be for Christmas but I actually unwrapped it this morning because I was worried that she would out grow it before Christmas!!!!

Brocky and Clinton looking handsome in their matching outfits.... Brock was thrilled to look just like Clint this morning. Even their pants were exactly the same!!!!

My sister had her gallbladder out...just don't get it done at the Rushville hospital like she did. YIKES!!!
I cannot believe you have your tree up already!!!! All my neighbors do too. What is it with you guys this year???
We have five trees and they go up the weekend before Thanksgiving and then we put all the lights and stuff on the boys and the big on in the bonus room then but we wait to do that to the HUGE one in the living room until Thanksgiving day. AHHH! No hooks!! I havn't used those since Alex's first Christmas. All of ours are on ribbons now. Makes it easier to put up and take down.....ummmm, I guess I should say......Merry Christmas?????
Really, enjoy your tree and the season! Good luck with the gallbladder - Keep me posted.
