Tonight Emaline and I decorated our Christmas tree. It was definitely the highlight of my day! Since this is her first Christmas where she really is trying to understand what is going on, it just keeps getting better and better. We unwrapped and unboxed all our ornaments and she watched as I strung the lights around it. This took way too long since I was constantly sweeping up the needles that continued to fall off the tree...wonder if the tree lot was the way to go this year. Usually my whole family goes to a tree farm out in Wright City, MO to cut down our tree. Its a great tradition we try to repeat every year, but since this past weekend was overtaken by the ice and rain, it just wasn't going to happen.So, here we are 2 weeks from Christmas decorating a tree, I guess we should have jumped on that nicer weather! As I said before, I love Christmas time, but unfortunately with Josh's schedule we don't get to do much of this stuff together. He did get to sit with Emaline while she drank her milk and watched me light up the tree, but I didn't think about taking pictures until he left for work! Anyhow...my list is almost complete: Tree up? check. Lights up? check. Packages mailed to CA & MT? check. Christmas cards made? uh, skip to the next one. Gifts purchased?? half a check. Cookies & goodies baked? gettin' right on that. I'm almost there!!
