I'm pretty sure that I've blogged more this month than I have all year. Although, I hope to stay more faithful, I'm getting tired of writing every day.
I busted out the Christmas decorations today, and for the first time ever, I put the tree up. I'm pretty sure Jacob was extra thrilled about that. I got the mantle all decorated too and was even able to decorate the top of the DVD cupboards like usual. I don't think Daniel can get to it. He hasn't tried to mess with any of my normal stuff up there anyway. Plus, since I was working with a small space, I had to put his Jumperoo in that corner, so that'll make it a little harder for him to get to that stuff anyway.
The only things I couldn't put out because of space that I was sad about was my Precious Moments nativity and I couldn't hang the stockings. Daniel it tall enough to stand up and pull the stockings down...which would result in him pulling the metal stocking holder on top of his head too. Oh well!
I haven't decorated the tree yet. I need to buy some kind of string since most of my ornaments require hooks and I won't use those with Daniel being so little. I want him to get used to the tree first before I add more temptations though. He has done pretty well so far. He's just checked out the branches. The tree didn't get decorated last year for a few weeks either. My parents put up the tree for me the day after we came home from the hospital (or maybe it was that day). Whenever it was, I was napping...and I didn't have the strength or energy to decorate for a couple weeks due to a certain sweet newborn baby.
Now...if I could just figure out what I buy people for Christmas, I would be set. I just didn't see a whole lot of good Cyber Monday deals that I could take advantage of.
