It's starting to look a lot like Christmas around here. Sunday we were able to go out and get our Christmas tree. I grew up with the tradition of cutting down our own Christmas tree every year. I am blessed to pass the tradition onto my own family now. So every year we go to the tree farm and find that perfect tree to cut. To keep their tradition, my parents now join along with us. There are some years where one of us sick, and unfortunately that happened this year. Vivian's lingering cold took another turn, causing her asthma to flare up really bad. In this case we go to our local store called Horrocks to get our real tree. They previously cut, but we still get to pick out the perfect tree. This year I think we have bought the tallest of them all so far since owning our home. He he. I've always dreamed of having tall Christmas trees as a child. Now that dream has been full filled since our home has cathedral ceilings.
Because we were unable to go to the tree farm, my parents came over to help decorate the tree with our daughters. Our tree this year was 9 feet tall. Therefore my husband had to get out his ladder to help decorate. The girls had a wonderful time decorating the tree along with the smallest Helen.
On another note, I have started my Christmas shopping. Believe it or not, this is early for me. I am determined not to fall behind this year. My goal is to be done a week before Christmas. This weekend I was able to find The remake of fisher price's record player. I may just have done a dance in the toy isle!
Have you started Christmas shopping yet? Or are you a last minute shopper like I am?

I have gone out to the stores this year twice so far. I have ordered online twice also. I feel online is easier, but I feel more holiday spirit at the stores. :)
