I love December. B and I may be celebrating our fifith aniversary together this month but we are spending our 6th Christmas together. The funny thing is- this is the first year we have been able to have a tree. Past years we have always been out of town for the month of Dec, or at least most of it. We haven't wanted to get a tree only to look at it for 5 days and then let it sit in our empty home while we were somewhere else.
We splurged and bought a nice faux tree. I have always had real trees but he has grown up with the fake ones. So B left it up to me as to what we were going to get. (He is so good to me). Well, I found one that actually looks real and isn't just a bunch of pvc pipes with little paper wrapped around it making up the branches. I figured this could be our contribution to the environment this year- one less tree for the landfill. Granted I know all the trees have been cut and if they aren't bought they end up there regardless.
Thing 1 and I decorated the tree and Daddy did the outside of our house. There aren't a lot of lights on outside but enough that when we came home the other night Thing 1 was ecstatic. She exclaimed, "DADDY MADE OUR HOUSE LOOK LIKE A GINGERBREAD HOUSE!!!" How easy it is to entertain little ones. We have all enjoyed getting ready for Christmas this year and have been looking forward to the passing of Thanksgiving so we could put the tree up and get everything ready. This is so much fun!!
