I hope everyone had a restful and stressless holiday week!
Ours was spent getting all of those things done that pile on day after day and I was loving it.
We had Thanksgiving at home which was nice. Hubs and I both grew up only having Thanksgiving with our immediate family and so Thanksgiving at a house with tons of people although fun can be a bit overwhelming. Grandma was here of course.
Hubs cooked the turkey-I handled everything else and Row was awake this year.
We have literally been eating turkey dinner for every meal and it’s pretty awesome not meal planning!
Grandma and I geared up for some shopping! We live for drama-it’s true. We actually only go to one or two stores, grab our stuff and dart back home.
Waiting for thanksgiving
On Saturday we headed out to Dewberry Farms to cut down our annual Christmas tree. They actually shape them all year long and so they’re pretty much all perfect. It had been 80 and sweaty the day before as we hung our lights. Let it be known Grandma did some, hubs did some and I did some-not pictured is me of course. I also bought those star shower laser lights this year-AMAZING wait no LIFE CHANGING.
It begins
And so since it was freezing Row might have been a bit cold/bundled.
Christmas tree cutting cold #itwas80yesterday
After we rode the hayride out to the tree farm hubs walked out, grabbed a saw and said-Callie pick which ever one you want and hurry-so I did. He cut it down, and the boy handed him the tag we didn’t look at and realized that it was $200 we both almost fainted. He was a trooper though and it came home with us.
It’s a little full and a lot big
It may be a little big is all….10 foot ceilings yikes-no tree topper this year and so starts our year of the most expensive live Christmas tree we will ever own.
Our $200 tree touches the ceiling- note to self check the tag before cutting next year
But one the upside we have a memory and someone had the best day ever.
Somebody had a good time picking a tree
Why yes that is a Christmas Minnie Mouse.
