My sweet husband came home early from work Friday so we could pick out our Christmas tree. I was very excited to take Audrey on her first hunt for the perfect tree. We bundled up and drove to the tree farm up the road. Just so you know, I am notorious for taking hours to find the "perfect" tree, only to bring it home and realize that it doesn't fit into our little bitty living room. Last year, John had to cut the bottom off the tree. The year before, the star wouldn't fit. They just look so much smaller outside! I vowed to do better in tree sizing this year, and John only had to remind me once or twice a few times. After 30 minutes of walking through rows and rows of blue spruce trees that John declared, "All look the same", we found the perfect "little" tree.
A view of the tree farm and my beautiful mountains.
Off to find the tree. "Are you coming Mommy?"
Found it! Audrey approves.
(Don't I have a beautiful family?)
Audrey "helped" put the lights on the tree.
She was fascinated by the bright colors.
We finally decorated the tree and the whole house on Saturday. I really wish I would have snapped a picture of the containers that John so willingly toted down the stairs, all 6 of them, one which weighed a good 60 pounds.
Yes, that is a beautiful family. Need to put John behind the camera though. Tell him that beard is weak. Come in this weekend for K's bday!!!!
