I fixed the dilemma I had. I just made putting up the tree and decorations our family night. Ya, I know, that's what most people do anyway but at our house Bry is not usually home early enough to help.
So, this year, even though I was so tired by the time we had family night, and almost decided not to do it, we did it. It was LOVELY to not have to do it alone! In fact, I made Bry and Jake do most of it! By the time we had the lights working and on the tree, it was bed time.
I decorated the top half with my breakable ornaments after the kids went to bed and today, the kids will finish the bottom. I don't know how we'll keep Wyatt away. There is no room for a gate or anything so we'll just have to be diligent. The room is so full already that the tree had to be squished in front of the front door. Almost! =)
So, here's to us! The brilliant women of the world! Merry Christmas! I've got the spirit back!

My Dh thinks that because he cuts the tree he is out of everything else! Plus it's Monday Night Football. But the kids and I had a blast doing ours last night and I did make him straighten it again.
We have a family Christmas song that we made up...you sing it to the same tune of the "12 Days of Christmas":
"On the first day of Christmas at the Barlow's you will see...An angry Dad, hauling in the Christmas tree!"
What is it with guys and Christmas decor?
