It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

But the prettiest sight to see is not yet this one.

In the few months since I last posted, we had Halloween and Thanksgiving. But now it's Christmastime which is one of my favorite times.

It's the first one in this house and the first one on my own, so I'm especially excited. Decorating the house is so much fun! But also some pain since I'm having difficulties on the outside.

Yesterday, we picked out a tree but since no one was in the garden center (and it was fifteen minutes to closing) we decided to come back later this morning when they open.

Speaking of the garden center, if you're interested, Lowe's still has these fifteen foot garlands for five dollars. Which isn't a bad deal, but they are thinner, so more for inside projects. Although, they have been providing a great evergreen smell until the tree takes over that job.

I will have pictures of the massive behemoth of tree in the morning. It's huge! It's definitely at least seven, if not eight feet. It's a giant of a tree that the boy is letting me get.

Speaking of pictures, part of the lack of posts is that there has been either the camera battery or the camera, but never both at the same time. Until now.

Be prepared for a flood of visual stimuli, baby.
