Winner & Decorating the Tree

The last few times I've done a giveaway on here I have video taped the boys drawing the winner's name out of a bowl. It's been cute and well loved that's for sure. Unfortunately I still can't get my videos from the camera and onto the computer. Hopefully I can fix that soon because I have a hilarious video of Jackson to share!

At any rate, I had to resort today to the random number generator at Random.org in order to pick my big winner for my Giggling Sweets giveaway!


Drum roll please!

The winner is commenter #14 - Kris!

Congrats Kris! Get in touch with me about what item from my shop you would like!

This weekend we finally picked up our Christmas tree. Usually we get one right after Thanksgiving, so waiting this long was weird for me. Last year we set up our tree while the boys slept and then video taped them coming out to see it for the first time... Remember this?

I love that video! This year the boys are loving Christmas! The lights, the trees (at church and at Union Station) and seeing Santa (even though they were too scared to sit on his lap). Nick and I rushed to try to decorate the tree while the boys napped on Friday, but only got as far as getting it up and turning the lights on. We decided to try to let the boys help us decorate!

 

 

 

Chase and Ty were great at putting ornaments on the tree. Jackson was great at pulling them off. Excuse Chase's weird attire (he's in white). That's what happens when you let a 2 year old dress himself - you get a towel like swim cover-up with a hood, layered under a white button down shirt. Stylish!
