P.S. It took me about 20min or so just to get this picture. He would NOT stay still or near the tree. Had to bribe with the candy cane.

Christmas photo
Here's our Christmas picture for this year. It's just Tristan but we have no way to do family pictures at this time so it's our best bet. Let me know what you think!!

It's that time of year...
Our tree is up! We still need a star for the top though.
Tristan loves the nativity scene and the singing puppy.
My little candy cane thief! He keeps stealing them off the tree!
Well that's our Christmas decorations so far. How is everyone else's Christmas decorating going?

Oh we also are getting some snow at this very moment too :)

This holiday season is gonna be the end of me....
Nope, I don't mean Thanksgiving. I'm talking about Christmas. I went shopping today (uh oh) and walked into Hallmark. That was a mistake. I had to force myself to leave the store without buying EVERYTHING in sight. I'm on a very tight budget. I can only spend money that I get from babysitting (which today was $35). Have any of you seen those recordable books at Hallmark?? I wanted to get Tristan the Frosty the Snowman one and a few others. OH and that Jingle dog and book that they have now showing on tv. I ended up leaving though with only 1 thing bought. Then next door was Family Dollar... yea... I should just stay indoors til after Christmas. I barely made it out of there with only 3 things (1 of them wasn't a Christmas item).
Anywho, I really cannot wait til December 1st when I'm allowed to break out the Christmas tree and other Christmas goodies. We gotta buy ornaments though for our tree.
So how is everyone else's weekend going?
