A Christmas Adventure

On Sunday we had a wonderful Christmas adventure. After church we went to some friends and spent the afternoon searching for Christmas trees. What a great experience! It was so much fun to try to find that perfect tree, something I take very seriously. I took my time, not willing to settle with the first tree that caught my eye. The tree had to pass the rigorous "5 point Trammel inspection" before I would dare let it into my home and give it the lofty title of the Family Christmas Tree. My methods were unusual and maybe even foolish to those who were with me, as I was constantly hassled for the amount of time I was taking and the large distance I was covering, but I was not moved (and I think the results speak for themselves). Christmas is serious business in the Trammel household and the tree is something that you must give the proper attention. In time, we committed to a beautiful little blue spruce and we are thrilled to share the holidays with it.

Big Girl

Emma loves her zebra! She usually stands in front of it and shakes it so the music plays. She understands that you are supposed to sit on the zebra, but never attempted to on her own... until now. It was so cute she was playing in her room, all by herself, and I went to peak on her because it was very quiet. When I looked around the corner, I saw her trying to get on the zebra, after a few tries she finally did it and she was so proud of herself. She is such a big girl.

I got caught eating peanut butter

Emma loves to play in the kitchen and empty the cupboards she particularly likes to carry the peanut butter around, and on this day she was doing just that. I continually check on her to make sure she isn't eating things off the floor, so I glanced down at her and she was biting the lid to the crunchy peanut butter, so I continued to talk to Coy. Not more than 2 minutes passed when I looked down once again to check on her but this time she was sitting on the floor with the peanut butter between her legs she had somehow removed the lid to the jar and she was covered in peanut butter. At first glance you may not notice but her face and hand are covered in peanut butter. I guess we now know she is not allergic to PB.
