After Gymboree we drove to our local Home Depot to pick out a Christmas tree! We normally don't buy one this early, but Olive and I will be leaving for Sacramento in a few weeks and want to enjoy it for as long as possible. Surprisingly, we found "the one" after only looking at 2 trees! You can't beat it for $40 - Home Depot is the absolute best spot in LA to buy them.
The hardest thing about setting up the Christmas tree (besides wrangling a toddler), is getting it perfectly straight. Last year it took us quite a long time to get it right. Thankfully, we had Joan to help us this year - it is so much easier with 3 people!
I even put Olive in the adorable outfit that Joan's friend, Linda, got for her. It was perfect for decorating the tree. And since it was a gorgeous 80+ degrees out - it kept her nice and cool. I have to admit, it was a little strange getting a Christmas tree in this hot weather. But I guess it beats the miserable, freezing cold snow!
And look what we got as an early Christmas present from Aunt Joan. How cute are these little guys? One thing is for sure - Olive LOVES them!
