The Christmas festivities have begun!! We still haven't made the move to a fake tree, but I think we will soon! Getting a real tree every year is hard work.
We went last Sunday on a whim to get our tree (that's really early for us!). We were out in St. Louis anyway and since we haven't had the best of luck with tree lots out our way, we just decided to do it.
Mark and I had been out grocery shopping while my parents watched Kate for a little bit. It's rare that we are out by ourselves, so Mark called it a "date". Romantic, huh?? By the time we decided to grab a tree, it was already about 7 and freezing! Kate only had a little dressy jacket, so we had to improvise with what we could find around my parent's house to get her all bundled up.
She looked SO cute, but terribly mismatched!!! That's a black and white coat with brown pants, brown and pink gloves, and a navy blue headband.
I was pretty mismatched, too, though... remember, it was freezing and we hadn't dressed that way that morning. So, I was wearing a silly band and my mom's coat still dressed in clothes from church that morning.
When the three of us got in the car to head to the tree lot, Kate had her sweet little excited face on.
Mommy: "Kate, are you excited??"
Kate: (in her squealy voice) "Yeah!"
Mommy: "Do you know where we are going?"
Kate: (still in her squealy voice) "No!"
The girl gets excited about EVERYTHING and it's so fun!! She liked decorating the tree for about five minutes and then played with the glass figures from the nativity set for like thirty minutes after that. As of last night, the tree is done and all of the decorations are up, which means it took us no less than 5 days to actually get it all done. Welcome to life with a two year old, right??
Can't wait for all the Christmas fun!! Hope you all are enjoying the season.
