Another great thing about doing Parker's birthday party earlier is being able to decorate for Christmas right after Thanksgiving. You may remember last year's FAILED Trek for a Tree. Our local hardware store came through and had trees again. Parker was very excited about the whole process. He pulled the cart the whole way there and back.
I found a nice one pretty quickly and we made our way out. After a couple years of higher prices, I feel like they have dropped a bit again.
Esme brought her new pal, Tuna, for our journey as well.
While we let the real tree warm up, we set up a second fake tree in the basement. Between our vacation ornaments and the ones the kids get each year, we have quite the collection so I decided to give the kids their own tree. While I love our real tree, there are also limitations with decorating since the branches flex.
Parker's enthusiasm continued with our Christmas village.
It ended up being a little bigger than I expected and took up the whole space between our couch and the wall. Esme helped hang ornaments to finish it off.
Looking forward to a great Christmas season.
