We are ready for Christmas!

I apologize that I didn't post last night.  We played Uno with the girls (well Madalyn watched but Marissa is getting pretty good at it!) read them some books, and then we all went to bed!  Just one of those days I guess and we were all ready for bed!  We all had a lot of fun putting up the tree.  Marissa helped put up the garland and rearranged a few branches.  She got pretty bored with the branches part really fast!  Madalyn was our official light inspector.  When we opened the box of ornaments it was like we just won the lottery... they both thought that was the best thing ever!  With the exception of continually reminding Marissa that you have to spread them out, she decorated the bottom half of the tree by herself.  Madalyn hung one ornament and then had enough, she had more fun stealing them and taking off running and giggling.  I was a little worried with how Madalyn and the two kittens would be with the tree, but all of them have been great.  We have had to remind Madalyn a couple time that she can't take the ornaments off, but overall she is great!  The calico kitten hasn't even touched the tree, the black kitten has tried to climb it a few time, but considering the fact that our two cats full grown slept in the tree last night (they left very obvious signs with the big holes!), I'm pretty sure the kitten can't knock it over!  The kittens should be leaving today anyhow...I think!  Well now for the pictures... there are a LOT... you have been warned!


She doesn't really know what she is suppose to be doing!

Help from both kids
Madalyn got wrapped up!
The tree is up!
"Mom can I just give you garland from here?"
She decided that wasn't going to work!
Round and Round and Round...
...and the garland is on


Now its time for ornaments


Jackpot!

With Marissa's approval!
