This Weekend's Christmas Preparations

Friday morning we went to get the tree. This didn't take too long for a couple reasons. It is INCREDIBLY cold here right now and the selection was not huge because of the after Thanksiving, over-achiever crowd. (We are usually in this group, but we were out of town this year.) It is so cold here Clara actually kept her mittens on the whole time :)

This is the one!
Here's a quick flashback to when we picked out the tree last year. Our little girl is growing up!

Back to present day! Now comes the decorating...

Then comes the baking. Clara calls these 'cooks'. She loves 'cooks' and prefers to eat the hershey kiss first in one big bite and then eats the rest of the cookie in little bites.

Originally, there were a lot more Pecan Balls, but I took most of them to a Christmas party and these I kept for us.

Oh and guess what I'm getting for Christmas?!? Not because I really want one, but because ours broke again! Grrrr....
