i had a night full of work planned for this evening.
but chlo' & i opted to scratch that agenda &
*hit up our pjs @ 6pm
*decorate the tree whilst viewing mickey's christmas {for the 2,456,876 time}
*early bedtime for all dunn-girls [olivia included]
unfortunately my anti-awesome-brain won't stop making angie-to-do-lists...hence me insomniacly blogging at midnight-thirty [instead] of catchin' up on my slumber.
though sleepless i may be: i am happy.
'cause i love my tree.
and my first born.
tonight i learned that:
pretty much {nothing} beats decking the halls with chlo-bow.
and i quote:
"ohmigosh! it's so magical!"
"oh mom, it's sooooo perpect."
"ho, ho, ho...merry tristmos."
"wook at the pretty, pretty wights, mommy!"
"oh, i just wub it."
"thank you mommy, it's so delicious."
tomorrow we shall set up the rest of our few decorations.
and i can't wait for more chloe-hilariousness galore.

Love the picture of your tree, and with Chloe just chillin in the back! Love it. I hope you guys gave a Great Christmas!!!!
Your girlie is so cute! You are so obviously her idol . . . and mine, too, for that matter! :)
Merry Christmas, my prego friend! ♥
A topless tree? Oh my! j/k hahaha
Glad you had such a sweet evening together. But sorry about the lists/insomnia.
So cute. I am totally feeling the love this year with kids in the house. They are so excited about everything!
Ah, I needed an angie-dose of Christmas cheer today. Thanks!
P.S. "See Gabby roar?" That is TDF.
That's so cute. I love that she's so into the tree. Your tree looks amazing as usual with anything you do!
My 2nd favorite part of this post is what you said about your favorite Christmas song - because I cannot think of "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" without thinking of A VERY BRADY CHRISTMAS!! So funny! My favorite part of the post was the list of what Chloe said about your decorating. She is so cute!
You are adorable, and I have lots to comment on about this post, BUT
There is a VERY important matter on the hands here. They are canceling our amazing Pie Maker's show. PLEASE go sign this petition to keep Pushing Daisies on the air! I feel like a sales person. But I knew you were a fan, and may cry with me.

Good luck to us all...
Merry Christmas :)
so freakin cute. Chloe just gets cuter ( is that possible?). I love the tree and Chloe's face in the back ground.
Oh your posts always make me smile. One of these days I'll add a new post to my blog. Too bad Carson refuses to be in a picture with his "cousin" (yes, Carson doesn't even claim him as his brother). Baby steps.
i LOVED the reference to a very brady christmas!!! i can't even tell you how much i loved that as a kid & how much i love to laugh about it now! ha ha! this was a fun tag!
