Oh Christmas Tree

We decorated our Christmas tree this afternoon after Punky woke up from her "nap".  Luckily, Buddy took an extra long nap today, I don't know how we would've been able to do it with him in the mix.  We only used non-breakable ornaments and didn't hang them on the bottom half of the tree.  Punky was pretty upset that we had to leave all the beautiful ornaments and balls in the boxes.  I am half expecting the tree to get pulled over, so we'll see how that goes. 

We started the Elf on the Shelf tradition today too.  Punky could not think of a name for the elf, so Daddy named him Gimli (after a character in the Lord of Rings).  After nap, Gimli was perched on the dining room chandelier.  Punky had fun trying to find him and asked how he got up there.  Later, we heard her say, "Sorry, I broke the mirror Gimli."  (A total accident today).

Daddy has been having lots of fun with the kids on Saturday mornings while I'm working at the library.  He took them to Cabela's a few weeks ago to look at the animals and today they went to the Maple Maze.  I think this working thing is good for all of us!

Just to keep things fair, here's a picture of Buddy during supper tonight!
