Today we got our Christmas tree! It doesn’t really feel like Christmas here, since could be in shorts, but we are definitely trying to get in the Christmas spirit! Christmas will be different this year since Daddy isn’t here. This is the first time in his whole career he will miss Thanksgiving and Christmas. He has worked them before, but we have always been able to go to the station. So since Daddy isn’t here, we decided to get an Emma-sized Christmas tree this year....mostly because that is what I could carry. We went for simple decorations since we will not actually be here for Christmas. We also started our pfeffernusse and wrapped all the presents we’ve bought so far. Emma was legitimately crying because I wouldn’t let her open her presents. Unfortunately for her we will have a month to go...it’s going to be a long month!
Emma got to put the star on!
It really is the perfect size for her!
She loves to taste the batter. She kept tasting it when we were creaming the butter and sugar, “but mom it’s so good!”
She put all the presents under the tree!
We have had really good break. Days like today make me excited for not working anymore. This Sunday is my last, and I am looking forward to having some downtime and not been so busy and stressed out all the time. I feel much more patient and way less frustrated...and we have time to do normal things like play.
