Black Friday for a lot of people is about running around and getting the best deal around. Amy used to enjoy this... until one day she tried it with George. She was ruined for life (Ha). Ok - so maybe that isn't why she didn't do it this year, but had to pick on George a bit ;-)
This year, we spent the day putting up Christmas Decos with the help of two beautiful kiddos and Gma and Gpa Cannode. Made the day go quickly and in no time; we were sitting down enjoying our well decorated home.
That night, as is tradition... we opened a nice bottle wine (from our recent trip to Napa) to enjoy while we decorated our tree. Our Christmas tree is not the one with matching or themed ornaments. Nope, our tree is our journal and our ornaments are our stories. We enjoyed putting up one by one (glass ones high... kid friendly ones lower) and thinking of the stories that belonged to each one. The kids really enjoyed putting them on the tree too!

Some of us take decorating "Seriously"... Others Don't
Just sayin' |

| Here you go, Brother! |
Amy also found an idea on pintrest recently... it was to make a felt Christmas tree that the kids could decorate over and over. She convinced her good friend, Erika, into joining and got to work (while the four kids entertained each other).
