It's Begining to Feel A Little Christmas-y Around Here

Anthony usually has the Christmas tree put together and ready to decorate when I get home from black Friday shopping. However this year since we live in Louisiana that did not happen. We had also been debating because we only had a 6 foot tree in Oklahoma and our new house has much higher ceilings. We were thinking our little tree was going to look sad in the living room. We decided to go to Sears and buy a new taller tree. We went with the 7.5 foot tree. We also got a pre-lit tree for the first time. It was the best decision. Even though we paid quite a lot for the tree it was well worth it. The tree was so easy for Anthony and I basically it came out of the box in three pieces. Put them together then the branches folded down and we started fluffing and decorating. Even though it still took quit some time it was still much shorter than normally! It is so weird I have almost all of my Christmas shopping done and not one present under the tree. I am so thankful that Patsy agreed to wrap our presents so we just left them in Oklahoma. Seemed silly to drive them all the way here (while trying to hide them from the kids) just to drive them back.

It was a wonderful night with my family.

Tomorrow Anthony is going to play golf. Then the evening we are grilling some meat he bought down in New Orleans and watching the OU game.

Next weekend Anthony's parents are coming in town to watch the children while we go down to Lafayette to Anthony's boss's house for a Christmas party.

I think there is one more weekend then we will head back to Oklahoma for Christmas.

After the new year we won't be visiting quite as often probably every other month or so.

My 3 blessings ~ they are so proud!



We also found the perfect tree for Caden's room. The girls have their pink tree however I think that size of tree is too big for Caden. So I have been looking for a smaller tree but I wanted one that was pre-lit. I finally found this one and He LOVES it! So do I it takes batteries so he has been caring it around everywhere. He is such a funny little guy!
