"wanna watch scoooooooooby doooooo then?"

Tree Trimming!

Ira wanted to decorate the tree all on her own, so I put on the lights with her helping and then she totally took over!

She did a great job! granted that MOST of the ornaments are on one particular area.... but she spread them out a bit afterwards.

Tree shopping!

Unfortunately, here in tucson, there arent large groves of trees and snow to go scouting in... so we just went to home depot- since there was a sale and all. It was freezing (for us) and starting to storm.... but Ira was NOT letting us rush her.

"daddy, put it down, we are NOT getting that one.... I'll choose"







live was quite content to hang out in the car- the walking in the cold through puddles- not her thing. I ended up having to carry her the whole way. Here she is happily back in the car while daddy loaded up the tree. (she is wearing the first hat I ever crocheted for ira last year!)
