Chelsea, Chloe and Gingerbread Men to the Rescue

I went to bed early the other evening.

This is such a rare occurrence. 

I am very rarely caught by surprise by 

things here at home because I am one of the 

first to wake up and the last to bed most nights.

However this evening was the exception.

The exhaustion had caught up with me and 

I was out by 9:30pm.

When I awoke the next morning I was so pleased

to find these happy little gingerbread men on

the Christmas tree.  I think they are the saving grace

for our disaster of a tree.

I think this one was playing peek-a-boo!

The tree is actually being held upright by a cinderblock

on the tree stand.  This being necessary because 

of Mikey's solution to its volume. 

You may remember that

he chopped the back of the tree off.

It was logical

at the time but I don't think that there was a lot

of forethought given to balance and weight issues.

Oh well, Warren has lots of practice at getting 

the rest of us out of our self induced dilemmas.

He is the BEST!

The tree is finally dressed with white lights, 

blue and white ornaments and ribbon.

 Aren't these little guys just the cutest??

She has named each and every one.

I confess that Chelsea and I ate "Jonathan".

His head broke so what were we to do??

Wink!

I just thought these two were way too 

cute together the other morning.

I made them pose...

Merry Christmas....to YOU!
