o christmas tree!

as far back as i can remember, my family has gone to get our christmas tree at a tree farm the day after thanksgiving every year.  and honestly, in the past few weeks when i was getting excited for this little break from school, i just maybe was looking forward to this day more than thanksgiving day!  i just love today!  my dad has always been not-so-inclined to listen to any sort of christmas music until after thanksgiving, so we really let it rip on this day and we spend the day decorating, so it just really starts to feel like christmas season for us all.  good ole fun.  and i think it means a bit extra for me because i don't live at home anymore.  such fun and celebration christmas brings, huh?!  i hope whatever you did today, you enjoyed it and maybe got to be with family!

^^^ buncha noobs!  i love every one of em! (: (haha, sidney was havin a little trouble :)) ^^

^^ mama let me write out our christmas card envelopes, so that is what my day mostly consisted of.  i'm not complainin.. i really love that stuff the most! ^^

^^^ mom thought it would be a good idea to make our own turkey (even though t-day was yesterday) so our house could smell good while decorating.  any time mama gets ideas about food, we go with it!  de-lish! ^^^

^^ my parents work really hard to make our house a home, and i think they're so good at it!  i love learning from them.  i'm so blessed!  ^^



merry christmaaaaaaassssss!
