One month 'till Christmas!

Happy (late) Thanksgiving to everyone!  I hope it was a good one.  We ate a lot of awesome food and spent some time with my aunts/uncles/cousins and had a great time.

Today, we've moved on to Christmas.  We did a little Christmas shopping this morning, and then went to buy our Christmas tree.  We are swearing off fake Christmas trees - they are a pain in the butt to assemble/disassemble, they don't have a nice scent, and there is something so fun about picking out a fresh tree of your own each year!  It's a great tradition.

We wanted to cut our own tree down from one of the local tree farms, but the Fraser Firs we like don't grow here in Texas (they're an eastern thing) and all of the "Texas trees" are hideous.  Bushy & hideous.  So, we went with a pre-cut tree and it smells wonderful.  Caden picked it out himself!

After we loaded the tree into the car, we stopped off at a local coffee shop & the kids/Tyler got ice cream cones and I got a frozen mocha cappucino.

Then, we headed home to decorate!
