The real story of Christmas

This is how I envision Christmas with children:

But this is how it really goes down:

No more ornaments left to hang. A sad moment.

I think next year we'll just put the kids to bed, pour ourselves a large glass of wine, and invent a story about magical Christmas tree decorating elves. Anyone with me??

    1. No way...did THE Jennifer Fulweiler just comment on my blog?? Although really, your fame now is minuscule compared to what it will be when your TLC show breaks...in the wise words of Sarah Reinhard "In about two more episodes, we'll all be saying we knew Jen Fulwiler when she was just a blogger"... :)

    1. Grabbing the camera actually helps so much!!! Reminds me to laugh...the kids won't always be 2 and 3!! (Although I don't know, we might have a 2 or 3 year old for many years to come hahaha)
