It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… even more. We tend to start putting up some Christmas after Halloween. I just cannot help myself. I put away all the pumpkins and Halloweens costumes and just feel like replacing them with something even more magical – Christmas! But one thing we always wait until after Thanksgiving to do is pick out our tree.

Part of this is a strong grip I hold on tradition and the other part is Bruce telling me that our tree will die if we get it to soon. Either way, I kind of like doing all the other decorating leading up to Thanksgiving and then enjoying family tree time over the holiday weekend.

I typically try to take a million pictures but not today. This time I just took enough to document us being there (I’ve got some nice half shots that prove Bruce joined us too 😉 ) because I have crazy toddlers who are already ready for the next thing! Merry Christmas one & all!
