O' Christmas Tree

Today we went in search of our perfect Christmas tree. Ignoring the weather reports of a blustery freezing day we embarked on our journey today since I thought it would be fun to have some snow on the ground. Well in the end the snow didn't matter since it was so darn cold we found our perfect tree in about 5 minutes flat. Even the boys who love to be outside didn't fuss when we ushered them hurriedly down the hill to the warm barn serving hot chocolate.

Carter thought this little guy was a fine tree to put in his room.
Poor Eli was so bundled that he could barely move at all.

This year Carter helped his dad drag the tree down the hill. Carter really enjoyed watching the tree baler tie our tree neatly up.

The two best presents ever! In the end our tree looks beautiful, in spite of the haste picking it. All the lights, ornaments and glitter make it spectacular. The boys were a wonderful help. They carefully unwrapped the ornaments and helped to hang them. Carter this year remember particular ornaments and squealed whenever he unwrapped his favorites, inviting Eli to laugh in excitement as well. Today was truly a wonderful family day!
