Found our tree!
After a short tractor ride, we pretty quickly located our tree and cut it down. When we got home and put it up Steve and I looked at it wondering what we were thinking. I said either we brought the wrong tree home or we picked the worst tree! Steve blames it on sleep deprivation. Once the lights and ornaments were on it perked up! I had to run out that night to grab a few ornaments for Little Miss Sunshine so she would have some things to hang. Our tree is typically exclusively Ruby's and Ada's ornaments because they have SO many. They are each going to have an amazing collection to take with them someday. I found some cute Lego ornaments for their 2018 ornament from us. They each got a little kit to put together; Ada's is a bear, Ruby's is a penguin, and S's is a snowman.

I did a good job of framing this picture because this place was literally crawling with people cutting down their trees!
It looks good here, right?!
Our beautiful wonky tree... a good description of our last few months!
Gaga and Grandpa sent a cool Lego advent calendar again for Ruby and Ada that they love. Little Miss Sunshine is doing our cloth Little People calendar this year.
St Nicholas didn't disappoint this year. He brought Christmas pjs for Ruby and Ada and a little tree for S, which worked out just perfectly because Ruby and Ada already had a little tree for their bedroom and S has two pairs of Christmas jammies hand-me-downs. He's pretty clever!
Ruby's teacher invited us on a fun holiday pedal bike tour last weekend. Her husband owns a 14-passenger pedal bike thingamajig that you can go on for pub crawls and such. They were piloting a family-friendly holiday tour and we got to test it out. It was cold (40's) and rainy but we all had fun. We rode to a makers space and made these cute wooden Christmas trees. I couldn't watch while the kids used the jig-saw, but they did great and no one lost any fingers! The second stop was a cute little candy shop and then back to the storefront for hot chocolate.

Hard to get a good pic, but here we are on the "bike"
I couldn't watch while this was happening
No fingers lost=success!
Cute little trees!
I'm sure I've mentioned before, baking with small people is not my favorite thing. I pretty much decide which Christmas cookies to bake based on the least amount of stress they will cause me. Pathetic? Whatever, I have other talents as a mom. We made a couple different cookies/treats this weekend so we could take them with on our annual Christmas Lights drive!
The best we could do!
Little Miss Sunshine was "feezing". It was 51 degrees.
Just found out this house will be on the Christmas Light Fight show this week. Another Waco house won last year. Who knew Waco was Christmas Light central?!
