Oh the Holidays...

This time of year always makes me happy. I think my favorite part of the season is the smell of a real Christmas tree perfuming the air. Our house smells sooo good!! We shopped around a little bit to get a good deal on a tree. Some lots here are trying to rip people off charging $75 bucks (or more) for a descent tree. Now I am starting to see why people get a fake tree, because of the one time cost. We finally found good prices at Home Depot. Anyway, we decorated it today. Whitney wanted to get to the tree so bad that she actually tried to scoot herself to it (she doesn't usually want something bad enough to get to it herself). She did pretty good reaching and stretching her body til she got a handful pine needles. As much as I want her to finally start crawling, I kinda hope that she won't until after Christmas and the tree is gone. If the tree is motivation for her to start crawling then I guess I can't keep her from it. I just hope she doesn't get hurt with so much non-baby proof stuff around the house for the holidays.

Love your tree! That would be so funny if she started crawling just cuz of the tree. Have you taken her for pics with Santa? We took Colby today. I'm going to try to post the pic. ;)

What a beautiful tree. I do think you are in for a Chrismas suprise with Whitney starting to crawl.

Your tree is beautiful! I really miss the smell of a real tree. My mom is getting a real tree this year...I suppose I will just have to enjoy hers.

You've got a really pretty house. I miss the smell of the tree until it comes time to take it out and dispose of it. You and Whitney look really cute together!

75 bucks for a tree!! I think I would have went and cut on out of the neighbors lawn for free.

We still don't even have a tree. Maybe we'll just enjoy yours and save ourselves the trouble. I think we are going to actually chop ours down in the mountains!
