THE KIDS HAD A GREAT TIME PICKING OUT A CHRISTMAS TREE. WE CONTINUED OUR TRADITION OF BEING ABLE TO FIND YET ANOTHER GREAT, FRESH, CHEAP TREE AT LOWE'S. WE GOT A 9' TREE AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL FOR ONLY $54 AND THEN I HAD A COUPON FOR $10 OFF. SO IT WAS DEFINITELY A GOOD BUY. WE PUT THE TREE UP AND LET IT STAND FOR ONE NIGHT TO BE SURE THAT THE BRANCHES FELL INTO THE RIGHT SPOTS AND THEN PUT THE LIGHTS ON IT LAST NIGHT. CONNOR HAD FUN PUTTING ALL THE NUTCRACKERS UP ON THE SHELF AND THEN WE PUT A SANTA ELF UP THERE TO SO THAT HE WOULD BE SURE TO WATCH OVER THE KIDS. THIS WILL BE A NEW TRADITION IN OUR HOUSE. WE WILL MAKE SURE THE KIDS BEHAVE SO THAT THEY WILL GET ALL THEY WANT FOR CHRISTMAS. CONNOR AND I ALSO SET UP OUR NATIVITY SCENE AND I EXPLAINED TO HIM THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS AND WHY WE CELEBRATE IT. HE STILL SAYS ITS "CHRISTMAS" AND "SANTA", BUT HE KNOWS THAT IT IS ALL ABOUT JESUS'S BIRTHDAY, TOO.
CONNOR KEEPS PLAYING WITH HIS NUTCRACKER LIKE IT IS HIS FRIEND. IT IS REALLY CUTE. HE COMES DOWN IN THE MORNING AND GOES RIGHT OVER TO HIM AND SAYS HI AND GIVES HIM KISSES AND HUGS.
THE KIDS WERE REAL TROOPERS WHEN WE GOT THE TREE. IT WAS A CHILLY 31 DEGREES OUT AND OUR HANDS WERE ALL FREEZING. NEXT TIME WE WILL BE SURE TO WEAR OUR HATS AND GLOVES.
