getting ready for Christmas

Because of their mischievous nature, we didn't dare put up a Christmas tree last year... and also due to lack of room, I didn't intend to put one up this year, either. I caved. I just kept thinking how much fun it would be for the trio to have their own tree, decorations, and nativity to play with... and what harm could a 4' tree do? I am sure something will happen...it just hasn't happened yet! (Don't you love Gabby's stance... the hands on the hip is a new attitude thing...)
