Another of my holiday goals was to do something magical with Grace three times each week. So far, our magical things have been playing in the snow, going to the beach, making sand art, and decorating our Christmas tree.

Since I lost the battle to have a stylish matchy-matchy Christmas tree, I haven’t found a lot of joy in decorating for Christmas.

It was magical this year.

Gracie Claus showed up to help with the decorating.

I have so much to tell you about this photo. Tomorrow.

I’m pretty sure she’s 7 in this picture.

Apparently, when you’re two-and-a-half, decorating involves dumping all of the ornaments onto the floor and admiring them from a distance.

This is my favorite shot. Can you tell?

Decorating is hard work.

Tomorrow, I’ll string together some sentences and tell you all about the decorating.

She is so adorable! I LOVE the pictures (and that dress)! Can Gracie Claus come do my tree too? LOL!

You know it's funny, last year I was so excited to celebrate Elijah's first Christmas I put up FOUR trees. Yes. Four. Now this year I can't get time yet to put up ONE! lol

Happy WW! ((hugs)) for motivation! hehe

Very cute.. I also gave up the battle on having a match match tree! Oh well.. no fun for toddlers I guess to have matchy matchy. I remember when i was younger longing for my parents to put colored lights instead of white on the tree.. so we have colors! And miscellaneous ornaments.. some of them hanging from the same branch.

Adorable. I lost my battle with the tree this year. The kids took all the ornaments off the bottom half and the lights on the top don’t work because of the dog chewing through a wire. !!!!

Want to know where we got it? Wal-Mart! And it was cheap. I couldn't believe it.

Oh, man. That is rough! I think Grace is leaving the ornaments on this year because she put them up. I think we might have trouble when it's time to take the tree down, in fact.

It wasn't Grace who wanted a mismatched tree… it was my husband. He thought my stylish matchy matchy tree was dumb. {sigh}

I feel like the grinch- our tree isn't up yet. Saturday, it will go up.
