Christmas seems to have snuck up on me this year. I guess with life being so incredibly crazy, my usual planning went out the window. Its December 9 and I have yet to do any Christmas shopping.
Do you know how FREAKING hard it is to shop with a baby? SOOOOO much work!
Anywho, we have done some preparation around here. Aria had a photo shoot one night in her Christmas outfit so we could get just the right picture for the Christmas card. It was soo fun and she was cracking me up.
We also got all of the decorating done on December 1st. We still haven't compromised on trees so we have a fake one for me that gets decorated all fancy and a real one for Jeff that gets decorated with all of our ornaments from when we were growing up. We took a leap this year in selecting our real tree. On the word of my boss that the trees were good we went to Costco. The tree was $42 and we had to go pick it up out of a semi in the parking lot. This is what we found:
I was really nervous and then we cut all of the strings off. And it was perfect.
Now here's my to do list over the next 10 days so we can be ready to head home for California:
1. Christmas Shopping
2. Prepare Neighbor Gifts
3. Mail Christmas Cards
4. Get Aria her first Christmas Dress
5. Pack up the Fam
6. Drive home for a WEEK with the inlaws and the BFF!!!!!
I love that you get two trees, that's hilarious. Also you should be shopping online! That's mainly what I did this year and it has been SO EASY.
