Last weekend we spent looking for a new washing machine. We found one, and got a great deal on it. Now if the plumbing worked I could use it. But that's another story. After the washer was delivered we quickly ran to Lowe's to get our Christmas tree. Since the weather had been below freezing for a couple days, there was no way I was going to go out in the cold with a baby just to cut down a tree. If only we went the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
So off to Lowe's to get a tree. It's much smaller than last year, but with a 10 month old running around, it's just easier on all of us. Gabe's sitter, Miss Jessica, put her tree up a week before us and said the boys don't even notice it. And since our tree has been up for 5 days, Gabe hasn't even tried to pull anything off. Yay!
After we picked the tree we spent the next couple hours baking and getting ready for our friends to come over on Sunday. Scott's parents were nice enough to come over to watch the Mizzou games (basketball and SEC Championship) and watch Gabe while we ran around like crazy people (mostly me cleaning and cooking).
Our annual Friend Christmas party went off with out a hitch. Everyone came over to catch up and enjoy some RedZone Football. This year was much easier since I just made some appitezers and chili. I think this will be our plan for the next few years, as least until Gabe is old enough to be left alone.
I'm excited to see what all this Christmas Season brings, maybe less snow.
