It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Yesterday started with a clean-up from of the Fall decor and getting out the Christmas boxes. I can't say I was real excited, but it is tradition that it comes out RIGHT after Thanksgiving. So, we did it, and I actually enjoyed it. The Chrsitmas music is what does it for me! Once I hear the music, my heart is in it! Today we woke up early, and with some friends went and cut our Christmas tree. We came home with the two most beautiful trees from the mountian! Ok, there may be a few left.
We had a great day, we couldn't have asked for better weather. Sunny and warm. The kids saw a few small patches of snow and you would have thought they were going to jump out of the van so they could play. A little time in the snow goes a long way for us California wimps!

We had a great time today. I'm glad you did to. I love starting the Christmas season right after Thanksgiving and trying to enjoy it all month long.

Cute pictures of you and the family! I miss having a place close enough to go and get our own tree.
