Oh Christmas Tree

We enjoyed our visit to Utah, but it felt so nice to be home! We jumped right in and started decorating the house for Christmas. The kids were very eager to help and make the house look "just right."

The stockings were put to a literal use rather than a decorative use. (Only for about 5 seconds before "no-fun mom" ripped them off- those are some serious family treasures that Bryan's mom makes for each family member.) 

The newest gun at the Nielson residence. It "fixes" bad lights or finds the one bulb that is causing the problem. Revolutionizes hanging Christmas lights.

Decorating the Christmas Tree.

One needs to be creative when limited on vertical space for ornaments.

Perfect.

This video is a typical home video-nothing too thrilling. It does capture me saying, "Christmas 2015." Yikes. The sleep deprivation and prego brain struggle is real.
