In other news, I've been working to get these halls decked out for Christmas. We ventured to the Christmas tree farm yesterday and what a jolly event it was.
We don't actually ride in the tractor and cut down our own tree because I don't like leyland cypress trees. I prefer frasier firs, this we just buy our tree already cut down at the farm. This year we got a stellar deal on our tree because it has a minor boo-boo on one side. Since our tree sits between our front-room bookshelves, one side is hidden, and for $4o off we couldn't beat it.
Decorating has been joyful, oh so joyful. I've let more than a few un-Christmas like words slip past my lips. Shoot. Sorry Santa.
As we were hanging ornaments I explained to Reese some of them were breakable, which means we have to be very careful not to drop them. In true toddler form, he picked up a glass ornament and hurled it to the floor, shattering it into a million tiny glass shards. Then he said, "Oh man."
Not exactly what I was thinking son, but close.
Needless to say the remainder of the decorating was done during nap time.
Speaking of the toddler, we were snuggling in bed this morning and I asked him what he wanted for Christmas. His list was short and simple: shoes, fruit snacks, and toothpaste. Check. We have all of those purchased. Love how his little brain works!
