This is my most FAVORITE time of the year. For me it all starts the day before Thanksgiving and and lasts for the next six weeks! I love just walking around the malls and stores (even more so when I don't need to buy anything), hearing the Christmas music and seeing all the of festive items for sale. I love the celebration of the birth of Christ and watching all of the wonder and amazement in my kids eyes. I love watching the girls as they look at Christmas lights and get excited. I love decorating my house with decorations ranging from Chad and my childhood to ones we got for our wedding, and ones Maya has made at school! I just love it all.
Today we added something to our Christmas season. We had a Hustead (some may know it as Griswald) Family Christmas day. Yes that's right, we went to CUT DOWN our Christmas tree. It was so fun. There was even a moment while driving that I had to say in all seriousness, "I don't want to spend the holidays DEAD!" (For those of you who have see Christmas Vacation, you know what I'm talking about. Okay, you may not know it verbatum like our family, but you know the part. For those of you who haven't seen the movie, um, where have you been and you must go watch it immediately!) The girls had so much fun, it was well worth the trip! Definitely something special we will cherish forever. So here are some pictures and some video of the event.
Peek a boo . . . I see you!
Maya giving it a try.
Chad with the girls.
They even had some animals. Maya was a little hesitant at first, but Teagen wanted in to play with them!
(Video is coming soon, I'm having some problems with it. But check back soon!)
