Yay for the Christmas tree being up!!
We put it up Saturday night. I love Christmas trees. Even though this one has tinsel on it (which I am not a fan of, but Brice is) and my job for the last few days has consisted of picking tinsel up off the floor and out of Livvy's mouth. But I still love having the Christmas tree up. So do the boys.
We're doing the Christmas advent that has been floating around pinterest where we read a scripture story about the Savior each night before we put a ball up on our felt Christmas tree. Tonight will be our third night. Last night was a roaring success (said with sarcasm) as by the time we actually finished with the scripture story and Christmas song both the boys were in sobbing tears and I was almost shaking with rage at the fact that they could not stop fighting, whining, crying, sniveling, hitting, jumping, and yelling for even five minutes to let the the Christmas spirit into our home.
Good thing we have 22 more chances to get it right.
Actually, good thing we have eternity to get it right :)

Our FHE turned into family fight night last night too, ugh, why does that happen?? Thanks for the reminder that I'm not alone in my efforts to get it right!!
You're trying and that's all that matters even the prophet says so!!!
You have to blame mom for the tinsel love! She used to COVER our tree with silver tinsel. It was more like a silver tinsel tree than a green Christmas tree! Miss it!
Well said...an eternity! What is a tinsel tree? I haven't heard about the ball part of the advent.
