Oh' Christmas Tree!


Oh, boy what an adventure. If you have never gone christmas tree shopping with a two year old you are missing out! Last week we went christmas tree shopping and of course looked at several toys and christmas decorations and such. I have never seen Rebecca so happy, and Emily just staring at her bewildered at why she was acting so excited. The look in her eyes when daddy picked up an entire tree with his bare hands and hoisted it onto the car was enough to put a smile on any grouch. The unending glea on the girl's face as we strolled down the toy isles. Hoping to find the perfect gift for each one. Fortunately, that will be the last time I will make the mistake of takeing them into a toystore before christmas. At first sight was the candy tempting them as we entered the store, then your eyes look forward exploring all the toys and it is kid heaven overload. The girls swilled with excitement as the darted to find something they got to have. Emily first sees a large stuffed animal and clings to it with her mind set to never let it go. While Rebecca bounces from one toy to the next unable to make up her mind. We eventually had to drag her kicking and screaming out of the store before she had a complete breakdown from the excitement. Then, finally getting home with the christmas tree the girls are exhausted and yet find more energy which is trigered by all the christmas lights and candy canes. And every morning since the girls have awaken with a squill and an OH BOY! and a WOW! I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!! By: Mommy
