it's summertime!

Yesterday was the first day of summer. It doesn't feel quite right, but I am happy that all of the flowers are blooming and the weather is absolutely gorgeous!!!

We got our first Aussie Christmas tree yesterday and it is definitely a little disappointing. I was warned that it wouldn't be as 'perfect' as our American trees, but after trimming it for over an hour it still doesn't really resemble a real Christmas tree... oh well! I am just grateful we have one! I was worried Stella might destroy, knock-over or even be scared of it and I should have been worried about her eating all of our ornaments. I just caught her chewing on one of our glittery red ones... not cool.

We are getting excited for our trip coming up in a couple of weeks and Charlie's month off!! Woohoo! Definitely a nice perk!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving!
