Is it Christmas Yet?!?!?!

Tis the season.. and I'm already almost done shopping for Christmas!! Shopping for a 1 year old is pretty hard, also there toys are not as much fun... so i have decided that i am going to buy whatever i think is cool and she will grow into it! HA! i mean i got her a few toys she can play with now... but most of her gifts are 24 months + she is almost 14 months so that means less toys i have to get her later..hahaha. This christmas is going to be so much fun because there is finally a kid who can enjoy unwrapping gifts, i think she will be able to unwrap gifts... all i know is Christmas is BIG in my family... so i plan on making Christmas BIG in my little family as well... its like you save all year for one huge day, just to see a giant smile on my hubby/ daughters face makes it all worth it :) The day of, or after Thanksgiving we always set up the Christmas tree... Traditions, and I plan on keeping those traditions so one day Taylor can say "mom, do we have to???" hahahaha Just like i did to my mom and dad! I bought my very first tree when i got my first single girl apartment in Maple Hills when i turned 21... it was an itty bitty tree... and that is the tree that Brandon and I have used... Next christmas when we have our house we are going to buy a better, fuller, and less Charlie Brown like Christmas Tree... our tree comes up to my nose and i am 5'9... so next year, who ever wants a tiny skinny 5'9 tree is more then welcome to have it! :)

Last year when Taylor was born, i bought her own christmas tree... YES, the tree is pink and its fabulous!! it has lights and everything... i found it at Kohl's for $20 last year! Every year i plan on buying 1 ornament and sticking it on her tree... and anyone else who gets her one will go on that tree as well... this year i got her little ballerina slippers for her tree. Here is Daddy and Taylor setting up her tree (we moved her tree into her bedroom)

Here is a cute video of Daddy & Taylor setting up her Christmas Tree! 

Since Daddy set up Taylor's tree, he said that i had to set up ours... LOL. i didn't mind, i like to decorate! my little shabby tree turned out pretty good! All decorations were bought over the years at the dollar tree.. and last year i bought "e" 'b" and "t"  initials at Kohl's for our tree, i haven't bought a new ornament this year yet. This is Taylor & Mommy putting the star on the tree... woah i look pretty rough, it was the end of the day... haha. 

This picture below is for pure laughter... i left the vacuum down the hall, while i put away the Thanksgiving decorations i come back and she had knocked over the vacuum and apparently thinks its a car or pony... LOL. she was rocking back and forth like it was suppose to go... haha. Hilarious. (she just got out of the tub, that is why her hair is all wet) 

New Christmas shoes! "Joy"
