Christmas prepping has gone remarkably well this year…it feels weird being SO ready.
But umm….we were kinda missing something….oh yeah…our Christmas TREE!!! Whoops. So between the hot weather, rainy weather and Yosh busy coaching we finally got a tree this weekend…and decorated the bad boy a few days later.
Yeah we’re one of those cute families that go to Christmas tree farm and cuts down our own tree….waaaiiiiiittttttt a minute….NO WE ARE NOT! haha We are the Home Depot tree pickin’ type of family! Maybe one year we’ll get to a tree farm…or maybe not. I’m ok either way! Owen hates the smell (weird kid)…but this year he loved searching for the perfect one. Ella just wanted to stand in the middle of the craziness. I stood back and laughed. Poor Yosh. He does all the dirty work, finding one, opening it up, carrying it around…Good Job Daddy!
Even Woody “had” to have a picture in the elf picture slot! (Ella was laughing so hard it was the cutest thing!) 
AND I’m seriously proud to say that Yosh and I put that darn tree up WITHOUT a fight!! Go us! We have figured out the trick…but the tree stand thingy on BEFORE bringing it in. That way you just adjust and tighten the bolt thingys…BAM you got a tree standing tall and mostly straight!
Tonight (3 nights later)…we got around to putting ornaments on this 7ft Noble Fur beauty!! I loved watching Ella…it was her first year getting her hands on those bad boys! And with Owen’s instructions you would have thought he was a 25 year tree decorating veteran! Hilarious.
After bath we came downstairs and Daddy had put the lights on the tree…both kids literally were running around with excitement.
I tried taking pictures of the kids decorating…but didn’t have time to read up on a tutorial on the camera settings for cool pictures…so these grainy, blurry thangs will have to do. (boo to me!)
Of course as everything with Ella…it was from giggles to tears within minutes…shes a hard one to please!! lol I can smell the terrible two’s they are so close!
8 days until Christmas! Bring it on!
