Christmas time is here!!!

Ahhh we did it!! We got into the Christmas spirit.... a little!

Saturday we finally made it out to get a tree! We went to once place and did not find one so we went to where my parents got theirs since it was a nice tree. Yup, we got our tree at Kroger this year (don't laugh). It was a great price too! And pretty... see....

We set it up and let it be on Saturday while Chris went to work. Sunday after church we were all together (since Chris went into work at 3) and we were able to decorate it not once but twice!

There is nothing like getting the tree up and decorated, then standing back to look at how pretty it is, noticing that it is leaning just a little and then seconds later watching it crash onto the floor. Ok so it did not crack onto the floor but it did crash onto the fireplace. Luckily only one ornament was lost in the crash!

So Sunday we took all the ornaments off the tree, took the tree back outside and did a little operating (that was Chris' job) to get it to fit in the stand correctly.

The above picture was taken after the 2nd time decorating.

Today I decided that it was about time to take Kennedi to see Santa Clause. I mean what is Christmas without scarring your young child for life making them sit on a strangers lap???

So.....

I got Kennedi dressed in one of her Christmas outfits....
and.....

scarred her for life (ok maybe not since she will not remember it).....

After that I decided to take her .......

To ride the Pink Pig!!!


I mean really..... what is Christmas without heading to Lenox to ride Priscilla, the Pink Pig???

At least she liked that!!!!

**and yes, I was a bad mommy and forgot the camera so all pictures are taken with the camera on the phone**

Now if I could only get into the Christmas spirit a little more and wrap some of the many gifts that need to be wrapped!
