When I woke up I knew that today was the day that I’d put out all the Christmas decorations. I started by just setting up the tree. It needed to be fluffed out and we also wanted to see how Baby Ruth would react to it.

She was very interested in it but never tried to climb it. I felt better knowing that.

I was separating the ornaments by breakable ones that I knew needed to go on upper branches. We have never had a themed tree. It’s more like just put it all on, the gaudier the better.

When we decorate for Christmas I have to pack up and store our normal decor which makes a lot of work.

Poor Mary, I think Joseph went out for milk. But seriously, he’s somewhere in the house.

Baby Ruth loves the candles and will just stare at them.

I was really wanting to get everything out and then get all of the totes back into the shed. It was so windy all day that I thought I couldn’t get the lights outside put up. The wind finally died down about 3:30 so I was able to get the lights up and still get all of the boxes back into the shed.

One thing I did not think about was the projector lights.

Because guess who thinks it a toy for her?

Since I had been going non stop all day we decided to go get Rotolo’s when Donny got home. Best cauliflower crust around.

Everything goes back to regularly scheduled program tomorrow because the kids go back to school.
