The finished product

Chelsea gets in on the action!

Ornaments go onto the tree with the help of a couple of elves!

Now the lights...

Christmas Tree

We put up our Christmas tree today! Notice the LARGE tree stand Tim puts the tree in so that Chelsea does not knock the tree over. Tim only looks like he is asleep while assembling the tree - although he has done it so many times he probably could do it with his eyes closed!

Thanksgiving

I spent about 11 hours preparing our Thanksgiving meal, and intended to post pictures of the finished product, but my camera battery died before I could take any pictures! I got a picture of the table before any food was on it, but hey, we did use the good china, so I'm posting that picture because I don't use the good china very often!

Chelsea

As soon as I sit down at my desk Chelsea likes to plop herself down right beside me. If I don't start petting her right away she will get up and nudge me so that I can no longer type! What a life! Anyway, she's pretty cute so I thought she should get to be in the blog too!

Picture!

Okay, I am on my way. I have now added a picture to my blog! It would have been fun to have a blog when the kids were younger, but there are so many things going on this year with both of them that I will still have lots of things to share other than Paris!

Getting Started

I am trying to set up a blog so that you can come with us to Paris for Christmas. I have absolutely NO idea what I am doing, so I am going to try to figure this out, and then hopefully by the time we get there, I will know what to do!
