It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Last year at the holidays, we were in the middle of many a home project in the hopes of getting the house on the market and, consequently, opted out of the Christmas decorating :( I was pretty bummed about not having a tree for Ellen's first Christmas but luckily, she was none the wiser.
Last Sunday, JP was off so it was the perfect opportunity for us to go pick out our tree for this year! And, to top it all off, it was snowing! I wasn't feeling great, but couldn't wait for us to get our tree as a family.

Looking adorable in our red coat Ready to head home
The car carts at Home Depot were much more interesting than the trees!
While Ellen took a nap, our rock star Daddy took on the Christmas lights. Since the white ones we had weren't working & I wasn't feeling great, we decided to go with some colored ones we had in a new box.
