Last year my husband and I had so much fun decorating our Christmas tree. Of course I was three months pregnant at the time and we were super excited about the idea of Christmas with a baby the following year. Fast forward to present day, we are currently living in our dream scenario. We have a beautiful baby and it is her first Christmas. We have "baby's first Christmas" ornaments coming out of our ears. We have adorable red and green pajamas. We even have had an unseasonably cold December thus far to make things a little more magical. One thing we are lacking in is sleep.
The little one is teething and she is not pleased. This has been going on for about two weeks now and it is beginning to take its tole. We are exhausted. This is the busy season for my husband and I have started putting in some hours at work. There is little sleep at night and no recovery during the day. My little Christmas dream is not looking that reachable.
The other day I thought I'd make an attempt at decorating the tree. I wanted it to go like this...

Instead I find this...
Still, I can't bring myself to be discouraged by all this. I have never been more excited about Christmas, even if our house is in shambles and our tree is half decorated and the stockings keep falling and my child looks like this...
