December First.

Well its the first week of December.

We marked December 1st by cutting down our Christmas tree- from our front yard. 

Ok before you start calling us the Griswolds two things. 

1. The tree was dying and going to come down anyway. 

2. We had no way to get a tree home from the tree farm.

(Dont mind the giant gap on the side ha.) 

So Sunday Morning Matt went out with a chain saw and cut down our tree. 

It was awesome. 

Its a little sparse but B loves it and got right into decorating and ordering Bo around. 

We have it all decorated and the house mostly done. 

The babies for the most part are leaving the tree alone- its just B we have to keep on eye on who keeps wanting to " re- decorate" which usually leads to " Im sorry - it broke."
 My " to glue" pile has gotten quite large.

At least once a day I hear " Come on Bo lets go play with the Lord Jesus." 

Buddy our elf showed up and is keeping on eye on things. Bristol asked him yesterday why he was creeping on her.
Good times.

Also I made a "Kindness" Advent calendar - so far B is doing great following her simple kind tasks for the day.

 Today: do something kind for your brother or sister. B shared her bacon.
In our house THAT is kind.
I love having a 4 year old at Christmas!
( I love having a 20 month and 7 month old too but at 4 they get it and LOVE it!) :)
