Blank slate

 So, it took us a few days to get the front room "ready" for the tree (really it was all about me having enough energy to oversee the decorating, and that takes a while when I'm still so physically exhausted from the toll of the past 2 years).

We put the tree up one day, then decorated it a day or two later.
While taking stuff out of all the rubbermaid totes, the children were asking about the 3 little pigs, below.
I had no clue, had never seen them before, and told them so.
They said we'd had them for a few years, and I replied that they must've gotten them when I was in Seattle with Anthony.
Turns out, Andy won them last year. 
There's a string of 3 clear lights that can go in them to make them shine.
Cute.
 Steve Urkel look while decorating.
 Grand-Nana made a treasure tree several years ago.
It is made with so many pieces of costume jewelry that is shiny and pretty.
The children play "I Spy" with it every year.  :)
 Decorated!!
 Anthony and I took the train to Seattle for chemo a few weeks ago.
That night, we returned home to a package from Auntie Jenny.
It was full of wrapped gifts for Christmas...plus an unwrapped Buzz.

Anthony was tired, but sitting in Andy's lap across the room.
He saw the head of Buzz in the box, and kept saying, "Buh, Buh, Buh!!!"
I facebooked Jenny and told her that I hoped it wasn't supposed to wait for Christmas because Anthony wouldn't stand for that.

We let him have Buzz, then he went right to get Woody and was throwing Woody around like he was teaching him a lesson or something.
He was so excited.
"Whoa!!!!  Buh!!"
