{Realistically Speaking...}

Can't tell at all its the kids decorated tree can ya;) Thats why we have two tree's :)

So you know how you have this perfect picture scenario of how your picture perfect tree decorating night is going to be you know soft Christmas music playing, nicely putting ornaments on, stringing the lights and ending with stories, hot chocolate and a movie.......

hold that picture perfect scene......

yep didn't happen that way....

It was more like swinging lights, flying ornaments, fighting kids, kids climbing the couch and a three year old climbing on the tv?what. One accidentally finding his Christmas presents.... mom getting mad? 

Sounds homey and picturesque doesn't it;)   

Um didn't quite picture it that way not sure what happened besides......... the full moon shining brightly.....

outside

So it was more like okay bedtime and sleeping kids five minutes later.

Sometimes THATS just life...and sometimes like every other area of life we have a picture of how things are going to be or should be and they don't always turn out that way 

But we made memories not saying they were awesome ones they were fine.... ha ha...But it happened and today was a better day:) 

Kind of like wanting a picture perfect shot like this

"Life is just like a Camera
Just focus on what’s important.
Capture the good time,
develop from the negatives
and if things don’t turn out
just take another shot."

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!
