It's our yearly tradition-- a whole day devoted to getting our Christmas tree, putting it up, and decorating the house for the holiday. This year Leah seems to understand a lot more, and of course, Andrew's in the picture. I won a free 6-7 ft. Christmas tree in a MOPS door prize! I was so grateful-- we saved over $40. And it was a great family-run lot where they even have some where you can cut your own tree. We picked out a pre-cut one, though, and had a lot of help loading it on our car.
Leah seemed to love romping around the tree lot and she really liked listening to "sis-mus music" on the way! She was a little timid about the whole idea of a tree being in our house, but not as afraid as she is about some other things. We decorated while we ate chips w/ pizza dip and watched "Charlie Brown Christmas" and "Rudolph." Leah wanted to help put the ornaments on although she wasn't sure how. And today she keeps saying "The tree's pretty!" even though she won't touch it (and she's wanted to watch the Charlie Brown Christmas about 20 more times!).
And this year we had snow! We rarely get snow this early here, but we ended up getting at least an inch or two, and it stuck! It was the perfect backdrop to set the mood for the Christmas season!
