Getting Ready for Christmas

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...
