Now That I'm Old ...


Do you know what I love about being a grownup? I get to do whatever I want. The cool part is that I can decorate for Christmas REALLY early, and no one can say anything about it ... well ... Matt can, but he knows how much I love Christmas so I don't think he'd want to spoil the fun.

So last night for FHE we decorated the tree! Isn't it so exciting? I love it. I think it's too fun. The girls had fun placing each ornament and remembering them from Christmas last year ... Tessa only broke one, so that's good. Kate just loved the lights and wanted to be involved ... luckily she hasn't been too into it. The one who's going to get in trouble is Zoe ... she kept trying to climb the tree last night. I'm not sure what to do about that; apparently cats really are curious.
I just decided since it is such a big job to put up the tree and get all the decorations out, I would do it early so I could see it longer. You know? Plus, it's so exciting we could hardly wait!

Looks great! Try a squirt gun with the cat. I've been able to curb many bad cat behaviors with a squirt gun :)

LOVE IT!! I love being a grown up. I think about that all the time!! Without my husband here, I can do whatever I want, too. I go to the mall whenever I want, eat whatever, go out with friends. I think tonight I will decorate for Christmas! I love your tree. Love the ribbon around it the best!
