Tyson was AWESOME at decorating the tree this year.  As you may recall last year, he concentrated the majority of the bulbs in ONE spot on the tree.  But this year, he was a decorating rock star and even wanted to put the star on the top on (which I tried to let him help with, but it's Swarovski, man!)

Here's Tyson hard at work and VERy focused

And since his Daddy was making weird faces and poses for the camera, guess who else had to do it??!

And I'm SO proud of myself for taking all of these without any flash (yay, me!)

More focus and concentration...

That smile...and my attempt at getting some Xmas tree bokeh!

What the Princess thinks of our Xmas tree...let's pray she doesn't start crawling until after it's all down because then I think she'll LOVE it!

And I'm in LOVE with our new stockings that I splurged on this year.  And it was awesome to finally be able to use the 5th stocking holder that I've had for the last 5 years :-)


Had SO much fun taking this pic, I've always wanted to get one with the "glow" of the Christmas Tree.  It took my tripod and lots of test shots, but I LOVE it!

It's been so awesome getting these annual ornaments, someday I'll have a whole tree full I hope!

Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]> We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year.  We are so lucky to have such awesome family and friends to spend the holiday with.  It was fun having another "first holiday" for Bailey too, we're running out of them all too quickly.  This year we spent with my Dad and step-mom and my sister hosted at her new, first house!  She did a fabulous job and the food was all so yummy!

We attempted to get a couple of family photos with my tripod set up and I managed to quickly teach my dad how to use my camera, he did great!  Now, these are not the smiley, perfect family portrait that I had hoped for, but oh well, you take what you can get, right?  They make me smile and really show our family's personality :-)

It was an exciting day for B, we managed to get a bow to stay in her hair!  Woooo!

The monkeys with our lovely hostess
