After such a lovely, family-filled, relaxing day yesterday, today we worked on getting our house all Christmas-y.
We had a Griswold Christmas moment when Ella and I fell in love with and insisted on THIS big, beautiful tree:
Dave was the voice of reason, logically reminding us of our 7 foot limit, but giving in in the end. With some creative pruning, we were able to squeeze it into our living room. The angel has reached new heights-- actually touching the ceiling this year!
A big basket full of beloved Christmas stories, a soundtrack of Christmas songs, those favorite decorations I haven't seen in a year, that fresh pine smell, and anticipation for all the wonderful things this season will bring...today we are feeling like it's finally Christmas!
