The first (and actually hardest task) of the season was to find our real Christmas Tree...unbeknownst to us XMAS trees are expensive...especially if someone else has done the work of opening them for you, so although we didn't really want to we ended up getting our tree from our local Lowe's parking lot :-) It actually turned out to be a very nice tree!! Madison had a lot of fun helping Mommy and Daddy decorate it too.
And what's Xmas without some tropical fruit picking in your front yard...this Satsuma tree was a gift from Anna's Mom and Dad when they visited in August and these two guys were delicious!
Our lemon tree has also exploded and provided very scrumptious fresh lemonade throughout the Holiday Season...
Another activity was the decorating of a ginger bread house...Anna did the initial frosting...
And then Madison took over...
The finished product...
Another trip we made was to a neighborhood in Torrance, CA about twenty minutes from our home that was known for each home having elaborate light displays...
Lastly, last weekend we were fortunate enough to be selected to have a seat to watch the Candlelight Processional at Disneyland where a group of 600 choir singers gather to accompany a celebrity reading of the story of XMAS...our reader was Patricia Heaton, the wife on Everybody Loves Raymond...Anna and I were surprised by how Biblical the retelling was...hope you enjoy this snipit!!
Soon to be posted..Madison's Holiday Show at her Montessori Greenhouse Pre-School!!
Merry Christmas Eve!!
