Today I finished putting up my nutcrackers in our upstairs sitting room. I know I'll be fussing with them until they look just right, but here they are as of now.

 Some more...

and the window watchers.

Here is my smallest and my biggest nutcracker. The small guy is on the big guy's head.

Tonight we went out to my in-laws and chopped down our Christmas tree. I decided that I had been gone from Luna too much over break, so she came along with us! Here she is meeting her brother Sprout.



Then Cher came out to help us find the perfect tree. She ended up helping way more than I did. I couldn't find my 2nd mitten in my car....

Alan and Cher are going to bring it down to our house sometime this week, then we can get going on the decorating!
