kicking off Christmas

We made our annual trip to the tree farm today to choose the perfect tree for our family. The selection wasn't the best this year, but we still enjoying traipsing through the rows. We ended up finding a good one, though it's a bit shorter than we wanted, and we enjoyed a traditional cup of hot chocolate after our tree was shaken and wrapped. We also had a blast decorating it this year. Abby loved pulling out all the ornaments and hanging them (on the bottom fifth of the tree, of course). :) Her favorite part was putting the star on top and also getting to play with her Little People Nativity Set. I love Christmas! BTW, notice the Minnie Mouse dress Abby insisted on wearing while decorating the tree. A nice touch, don't you think?! :)
