Getting the Christmas tree

We arrived in SoCal on Sunday night and Monday was too busy for Dave at work for us to go out so we went the night before Christmas Eve. It was rainy so the girls got bundled up good.

As you can see Aurora has entered a new phase in her life. The mommy stop aiming that stupid camera at me all the time phase.

The tree lot was empty except for us but there were lots of trees left. There were some really nice looking trees but man they sure got expensive. We didn't really like the idea of spending $50-$75 for a tree when Christmas was so close. We were going to leave to go check out another lot when the worker offered us 1/2 off so we picked out one we liked and loaded into the back of the truck.

Dave wrapped the lights around with a little help from Morgan while Aurora made herself her own mini Christmas tree from the clippings from the bottom of the tree. Aurora was extremely happy we got the tree and finally gave up saying "when are we going to get a tree?" over and over again. Morgan was looking forward to "hanta" coming to visit.

We didn't do any other decorations on the tree because we didn't want to bring them all with us but we were all really happy with how pretty the tree was.
