Finally getting our Christmas tree. Turns out it is hard when it is ALWAYS raining and it gets dark at 4pm. Ended up getting it from a family farm. They came out of their house just to let us pick one on a week night (most here are only open Saturday, Sunday and it's almost always raining those days).
The Tree
And catching the ladybugs that are flying out of our tree.
Decorating the tree...
And finally it feels like Christmas! I have a love hate relationship with trees, love the smell but hate the needles!
And this is a good story. Brady's Christmas gift arrived yesterday. I tried hard to keep it a secret. As soon as he got home Ella ran up to him and said, "Hey Daddy, Mom doesn't want me to tell you this but we got you goggles for Christmas!" She was so excited she couldn't contain herself apparently. Guess I didn't try hard enough. So sure enough since Brady was going skiing this evening after work he asked to receive them early. Oh well!
Carter has learned that if he wants to reach something he just has to get a stool. Ella's play-doh ended up in his mouth of course. Not sure what to do with this naughty kid!
And this is Ella practicing to be a hair dresser. She put this in my hair and I had to leave it in until Brady got home to remove it. She did do a wonderful job however, not sure how she even did it!
