It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

A post so soon? Yes! Zach is having a guys night of beer tasting, so I thought I would record our fun day of Christmas preparations.  After the boys were in bed and Zach had left, I decided I would relax and take a bath. Not five minutes later, Owen comes downstairs into the bathroom and poops for about 20 minutes. Thanks kid.

Anyway, Zach found this great place in Simi where you can pick out and cut down a tree.  All the trees are in this alley shaped area under some powerlines.  That doesn't sound delightful, but it really was.  There were a ton of trees growing there, and we found a real beauty.  Here are some of the pictures showing the great day we had getting ready for Christmas.


 
Owen enjoyed playing hide and seek amongst the trees.

Good ole Camry

Zach is excited to start trimming the tree

My camera refuses to give me a good family picture in front of the tree. I tried a million times...always blurry.

I managed to get a decent picture, but with no family. What's the point then?

Zach cleverly lit our canvas tree in the playroom

 So there you have it!  I hope everyone else is as excited for Christmas as we are.

  1. See....I do check daily! My heart skipped a beat when I saw a post so soon - little blessings!
    First of all, that Owen is really getting tall! So adorable - and sorry he did the "man" thing and stunk up your bath! Second, Caelum is a butterball! He is way too cute. Third, love the tree - your house looks so nice and festive.
    Fourth, did you ever get Caelum's stocking? Let me know because if you didn't, I probably need to track it.
    Finally, MERRY CHRISTMAS Anna, Zach, Owen and Caelum!

  2. Hi Queenie! The kids are getting so big. No sign of Caelum's stocking yet. He is such a little bear, so I think it's a perfect fit for him. I'll let you know when we get it.
