Dec. 3-Putting up the Christmas Tree

We put up the Christmas tree on Friday. We got an artificial tree and bought the ornaments at the dollar store so the whole thing cost less than $30--very economical. The first thing I do when I get home is put on pajama bottoms and the first thing Julian does is take off his shirt--he doesn't wear his undershirt because it's warm in California, just comfortable. Anyway, it was super fun to decorate the tree and we put up candy canes, which is something I always wanted on the tree when I was growing up.
