The past 3 Christmas seasons Mark and I have spent together, our tree has most defiantly left something to be desired. Last year, (I should have photoed) we hit an all time low with our Christmas Branch. Literally. A Non-decorated branch. So-Mark put his foot down this year and decided to bring Christmas home from Costco. Bless that establishment. And so, I busted out all my Clark Griswold Christmas cheer and brought this shining tree to life! Well, it was already pre-lit, but lets not get into the technicalities.
Of course we had the lad help out. For one ornament, and one photo op. He has been mesmerized by the lights, but not so much anything else. Sadly, he is a little young for Christmas cheer this year.
A little Morrell tradition is to watch Home Alone on the night we bust out the tree (or branch, depending on the year). Love that movie! I even ventured out and tried a new cinnamon roll recipe. Hot coco on the side made for a perfect evening flick.
Christmas is such a fun time of year, where we try to say we are watching what we eat, but really we mean we'll restart our diets in January with the rest of the world. I think Cameron's expression sums up our feelings about this month.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

I used to watch Home Alone ALL the time as a kid, but haven't had an urge ever since. Maybe it's worth watching for Christmas 2013. Remind me, k? ;)
