we have our tree up! A little early but if we wanted the boys to put on their ornaments we had to do it this weekend, otherwise I would have waited till next weekend. We set it up where the dining table was in the kitchen but now we have a new dining room so this is where we put the tree so we didn't have to arrange much, it worked out great, and thanks to Lisa for mentioning to do that! so see the other post of the kids doing their gringerbread stuff, that is the new dining room. Just loving all this room we have now, and yes it does look like the dogs wanted to help, or sniff it, but thank goodness they are females so they won't pee on it
