Rocking Around the Christmas Tree

I was so antsy to get our little tree and rock it out! So right after Thanksgiving...

1. We headed to our local Christmas tree seller (I really wish to cut down our own tree one day... How fun is that?!)

 2. We had to select just the right tree.

3. Once agreed upon by mommy and daddy, we celebrated and brought it home.

 4. Then had fun decorating our cute, little Christmas tree!

I'll have to show the finished product in another post, since I still need to craft up some ornaments :)

Christmas Tree

As much as I would like to go into the forest and cut down our own tree, that's not realistic here in LA (maybe there's a way?).  As our yearly tradition, we set up our tree right after Thanksgiving.  We did get the outdoorsy feel, since we set it up outside.  Reason: because I was scared there were spiders inside the tree box!  Good thing we didn't spot any.  

Christmas time is here!  YAY!
