Deck the Halls!

These are our favorite new toys. They're called "Holiday Specs." We picked them up when we got the tree. They make any bright, distant light (like Christmas lights) look like a holiday figure. We got one of each so we have Santa, Snowman, Christmas Star and Snowflake. Completely worth the $2, endless fun. For now we keep them by the the tree, but we'll take them on all our holiday outings.

They are just little paper glasses with plastic lenses. The second picture is Isaac trying them out with Riley's little pink tree. We got it at Target she carried through the whole store she looked like the fanciest lumberjack ever! This was after we put the lights on it, before ornaments. Also, pre-mom's surgery notice the tidy toys.

There's my fancy girl putting some ornaments on. The finished product was photographed a few days after my surgery (oy! the mess). Cute as it can be, isn't it?

Isaac got a regular colored tiny tree. A few years back we got him a live tree for his room. It was a disaster. He confirmed multiple times that this one did not need to be watered. I'll have to get another picture of it with the lights on.

Reindeer Reindeer Lit

Roo with my reindeer that lights up and sings Jingle Bells. He's also a favorite. I got him from Hallmark when I lived in California. It wouldn't be Christmas without singing, light up toys that annoy mom and dad.

Hard to Reach

101 uses for Mom's cruthes: fluffing the tree. Hard to reach? Not with a little resourcefulness.

Drum roll please.....OUR TREE

Again I'll have to get a good shot of it lit soon. Even so, it's a beauty. The boxes underneath are Mike's DIY tree water-er.
