Oh Christmas Tree

We went hunting today. 

It was a first for me.

Something I've always wanted to do, actually. 

Turns out, planning is everything. 

{as usual}

And of course, teamwork and determination are critical to your success. 

We are coming to get YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Once we identified our desired target, we went in for the kill... 

                           

      

Headed back to camp.

Our hunt was a success. 

.....................

We got the BIG one. 

The neighbors will be jealous. 

 And, Audrey learned a new word today:

TrEEEEEEEEE

Bonus!

Merry Christmas!!!!

DIY: Baby's Rudolph

You'll need:

white construction paper,

brown finger pain,

brown and red markers,

one goggly eye, 

a glue stick,

Christmas music.

All the best craft ideas (like this one) can be found at Pinterest.

I'm obsessed.

Our Sunday Evening Walk...

Halls are decked...

I'll be honest, I was a little disappointed to learn that because of work Audrey and I would be spending the two weeks+ before Christmas in Reno. 

Bummed to be away from John for so long...

Bummed that it'd probably upset Audrey's routine a bit.

Bummed to be missing the OC holiday festivities (mostly parade of lights at the harbor in Long Beach)

And, bummed that I couldn't really justify decorating our house, or setting up the Christmas tree....

But, who cares about justification.

It's Christmas! 

I decorated anyway. 

I didn't go all out, and I {sadly} still ditched the tree idea (probably too tempting to Audrey anyway), but it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

On My Love List: Advent Calendars

Let the countdown begin!

I don't remember a year when I didn't have an advent calendar. 

It's a Christmas must!

Right Mom?

Nothing sweeter than building suspense and celebrating each day leading to Christmas morning...except perhaps Audrey. 

........................................................................................

I know. 

This Christmas stuff is too much. 

JUST WAIT.
