Oh Christmas Tree...

Thanks for finally coming to our house and bringing Christmas with you. We started a tradition last year with cutting down our tree from a tree farm right outside of town. The kids loved it and couldn't wait to do it again this year. We picked the perfect day. The sun was shining but we still had to bundle up for winter. It was fun.Once we found the tree that we all wanted, Tyler got out the saw and sawed away. He is a very good tree cutter downer if I do say so! We pulled it back to the car, tied it to the top of our van, and drove it home.
We had a blast decorating it and the girls did a great job of hanging all the balls on it. I think it turned out beautiful. Once we got it up, Annie said "Now Christmas is here." And every morning she turns on the light and giggles.
Barry has done really good job at not pulling on the ornaments. I think it is cause the needles are so sharp and he is surprised every time he touches the tree and gets poked. Hallie is just counting down the days for Santa to get here. Only 16 more days.

The tree looks beautiful, and so festive. I cant wait until next week when we can put ours up :)

That is cool! Bet it is a lot more festive going out and cutting down your own tree rather than pulling it out of a box and putting it together :)
I love your blog!
