We put the lights on the house and put the tree up yesterday, so it's beginning to feel like Christmas, only now, we're just waiting on the weather to feel like it. It's 83 degrees out there today, but I think it's supposed to cool back off this week which will be good.
Brian & I went to Victoria yesterday and almost finished all the shopping - it's a little hard to do in one day when you have 2 boys, 16 nieces & nephews + 2 guests, 4 parents, 4 adult gifts (we draw names on both sides), then there's grandparents, Godparents, & teachers - but we put a big dent in it and I'll finish up within the next week or so.
While there, we picked out our perfect tree, went home and started the trimming. The boys started out strong, but gave up real quick, leaving my sister & I to finish. I think this is the biggest tree we've ever had - I had to bring out additional ornaments, and bows, and add some ribbon - but I think it's beautiful. And my favorite thing of all is walking into the house and smelling that wonderful scent of the Christmas tree.
