It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I took down all my Halloween decor (a lil late, i know) and cleaned the entire house yesterday. Although I am usually not a big believer in putting up Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving, this year I broke my own rule. I just figured since the house was clean and I had nothing else to do today, I may as well  use the free time to put one of our trees up. Yes I said tree(s). Plural. Last year, we began a new tradition - we put our fake tree upstairs in the living room and then we went and cut down a real tree and put that one downstairs in our family room. I decorated the one upstairs with white lights and all our pretty ornaments and then I let Lenny and Bella decorate the one downstairs with colored lights and all our 'fun' ornaments. It worked out well! Everyone got a chance to participate and I was okay with the ornaments on the tree downstairs being all at Bella level. lol
