Let the Christmas preparations begin! This weekend, Grandma came for a
visit and we did some fun Christmas activities, starting with a
gingerbread house. Try encouraging an almost three year old and her
eager Grandma to wait patiently for the frosting to dry before starting
the next step. About halfway through we decided to just go with it and
have fun as the walls came tumbling down. We made a big mess and had
lots of fun!

| DANGER! :) |

| And the walls came tumbling down... |
On Saturday morning, we woke up to our first snowfall. Perfect morning to bundle up and go get our Christmas tree.
Daddy and Abby encouraged all of us to go inside the farm store and
look around while they finished looking for the perfect tree...which
explains how we ended up with the tallest tree EVER! It's so big we had
to cut down the top to even think about putting our star on and it's so
wide that it almost touches our couch and dining room table at the same
time! :) I love their optimistic, carefree Christmas tree picking
spirit, especially because sometimes Mommy is just too practical. So,
when you come to house for dinner during the holiday season and you are
being poked in the head by our GINORMOUS Christmas tree as you enjoy
your meal at the end of the table...remember that big dreamy tree picked
by our sweet dreamer girl is just making Christmas in our house even
more fun this year!

| Oh, we'll see you in a few minutes Mommy!! ;) |

| Our tree trip wouldn't be complete without a special treat. |
Ella hung out in the front pack for the morning festivities, but
when we got home even our littlest girl got excited about the
decorating...
