"Oh Christmas Tree!"

Is the song Jose busts out in whenever we turn on the tree when walking into our house(apartment I like to say house because it is our home :) ) because our tree is plugged into the plugin that is conected to a light switch by our front door. It's so funny and always makes me smile.

I'm starting to get more and more into the Christmas Spirit. But not full on excited about it yet. Not like I was last year but it's ok I'm sure I'll get there.

Our tree went up the day after Christmas and we've decided to make it a tradition in our home.
We got the chance to go with my parents to help cut down their tree since they always cut down a real one every year. It's always fun because all of us kids try and pick it out but we always go with the one my mom picks. She's so funny she always wants a 7-8 ft. tree but their ceilings not quite high enough to get a tree that tall and still put the star on top.

Jose and I thought we found the perfect one, we were wrong.

The "kids" with the perfect tree.


I think only my family would trust a 10 year old with a hand saw. Porter's arguement was that
he had his witling chip in Cub Scouts so he was qualified for the job.

Timber!! Porter and my Dad.

It was fun to get to go with my family to cut down their tree. I've told Jose I want a house with two living rooms. A formal one and a family one so we can have two trees and I can have a real one in one room and our fake tree in the other. We'll see if he really goes for it. Although I'm sure he will I got him to finally admit yesterday that we probably will have 6 kids instead of 4!

Happy Christmas everyone! I hope it's a good one for y'all and everyone is safe and warm this holiday season!
