Got the tree.....and now we can begin!

Picked up the kids from school (on our way home from Maui, they were oblivious that if we came home early, they would have to go to school.......so this was a fun little tidbit to throw their way on our way home!!!).  But lets be honest, school at Christmas time is awesome!!

Anyways.....we got them from school, and grabbed a tree!
 Decorations came downstairs......
 The Angel made her way to the top......
 It is a beautiful tree....but boy can it shed the needles!!! 
Should have given it a good shake before setting it up..... 
So, now that the tree is up, and Chris and I finished our shopping this afternoon, we will be wrapping and getting the gifts under the tree......and now it feels like the Christmas holidays can begin!  Especially now that I got the traditional shot of my sweet little niece and nephew......Jack actually did a magic trick for Santa before sitting on his lap...he has come a long way since his 'terrified' first shot with the old guy in red!!  (And yes, the below picture is of Jack (not Ellie!!!)
 SO sweet hey?!!

Merry Christmas.....
