Making Merry

We had a wonderful time picking out our tree- though we didn't make it to a tree farm this year (promise, will do that next year), we did make it three blocks to the ACE Hardware store to get our real tree. And yes, I'm cussing the needles falling off and vowing to go to a tree farm and cut it ourselves next year! Really!

Keira loved wearing the tree skirt around as we sang "Oh Keira Tree, Oh Keira Tree" to her!


Quinn picked out these special window stickers during our trip to ACE- they look just like jello jigglers and, according to him, taste just like them too! Notice the bite marks!? YUMMY!

Keira loved looking at each and every ornament, taking stock of every ornament with her picture on it, every snowman, every Santa. The best line of the day was Keira exclaiming "SANTA! TIME TO GET YOUR HO ON!!"

Our gingerbread house! Keira was very precise and careful! She also ate MUCH of the "glue" and house decor!

It seems our new family tradition is to go see the old fashioned Christmas parade downtown. Many, many.....yawn..... many horses, much poop, but the kids LOVED it!

Watching with her BFF Hannah and Quinn!

Running around in our Christmas Jammies! Quinn was too fast for pictures! My attempt to get that so cute picture of them in front of the Christmas tree in their jammies- FAIL!
