Sunday Stuff

Yesterday Andrew took the kids to the beach while I went to my mum's and visited with mum and Dave. It was a GORGEOUS day.


Today on the other hand is kind of miserable and gray, plus very very cold. In fact, it's supposed to snow this afternoon.

I don't know much of what the did at the beach, other than Davey was playing with a little boy about his age until three women showed up. Then he decided they looked more interesting and went and played with them.

After Andrew and the kids had seen Grandma, we decided to go get our Christmas tree. Do you know that most places don't sell cut trees until December 1st? UH HELLO lots of people are crazy like me and put their tree up early.

After calling about five places (including one which had advertised as opening MID November but doesn't open till next week) I found Murphy's Christmas Tree farm. Here we are...



Plus, they're right across from Krause's Berries. They have a LOT planned for Christmas. Those of you who live in the area...check out their calendar.

Well, here's our tree. Looks great when it's in the field, doesn't it?!

Here it is going through the wrapper...

And they have the cutest little minitree lot for the kids. They decided they needed a tree too.


Wooop, tree is finally ready!

On the ride home the moon looked so amazing, I tried to get a picture of it. I finally put the camera on the 'sport' setting and got a good shot. But I liked this one better. The big orangey heart is the moon. The rest are cars...

Elisabeth eats the Christmas lights.




She was a lot more into decorating than Davey. He wanted to help, but got frustrated when the balls kept falling off. Tink just threw hers under the tree.


Daddy showed him how to do it properly.

Then, while Elisabeth was having her bath and I was in the kitchen, the tree fell over. Our stand had broken. So Andrew had to go buy a new one. Luckily we knew that Superstore had them cause it was already late on Sunday.

So here's Davey's tree in the broken stand and ours is all fixed and nice again too.
