Tis the Season

December is finally here! I've slowly been putting out decorations when I get a minute (usually when the babe takes a nap.) The great debate of real tree vs fake tree and when to get said tree began about a week ago. I do love real trees but I'm not one of those that has to have a real tree. I think artifical trees can look just as nice. We decided to get a real tree again this year but might look to see if there are any good sales after Christmas on artifical trees. Last year, we got the tree the first weekend of December and it almost didn't make it to Christmas. It would be better to wait a while before getting one, but honestly if it's going to take me a while to decorate it so we went ahead and got one. What's the difference if it's sitting at Lowe's or sitting at our house. At least it's in water here. I love that in Texas, you can go shopping for your Christmas tree in shorts and flip flops 90% of the time. I especially love that we had a cute little barefoot baby to tag along with us this year.


Unfortunately, on the way home, we hit a huge pothole that Neal didn't see. He changed the tire down the street from our house and then ended up getting new tires t his afternoon.


We opted for a small, skinny tree this year since we have a space issue. Since we got new living room furniture, we lost our Christmas tree "space." We have a front room that has a really nice picture window but I really don't want the tree in there because I'd rather us get to enjoy it rather than all of our neighbors. Our cozy living room has also been indudated with baby gear. For the time being, our new friend is hanging out in our kitchen, but I think I have a plan for a place for it to call home.



Let the holidays begin!
