I'm a little behind...so I'll start with our Christmas tree. Some people go cut down their own trees or at least go to pretty tree farms to pick out a tree. Not us. When tree day came, Mark walked across the street to Zeytuna, asked for the biggest tree they had and came home 5 minutes later.
When he walked in the door, Lyla yelled "keys-ma", which, if you were her mother, you would understand sounds perfectly like Christmas. She wanted to put a star on top right away
We store on Christmas decorations in Long Beach. With the trip to Paris and my being sick, I never got a chance to go pick them up. So we had an eight foot tree and no decorations. I bought a tree's worth of decorations in a flash and figured since we won't have our "traditional" tree, why not make it a little funky. So our 2010 tree is pink and turquoise, with a little lime green. It looks pretty cute! Mark calls it a department store tree because there are no personal ornaments on it.
Lyla helping with the decorations. One nice thing about my "instant" tree decorations -- everything I bought is non-breakable! Lyla tosses them everywhere. We'll have to remember when we have our traditional ornaments next year to reminder Lyla that you cannot play catch with the ornaments.
We took a little dance break while we were decorating.

Finally, time for the star!
Our tree!
