The Perfect Tree

On Saturday we had a very busy day. It was a lot of fun since we are in the midst of preparing for the holidays. After eating breakfast out, we went to pick out our Christmas tree.  Every year since we have lived in this house, we go to a nearby park that sells trees from a local tree farm. We have had great luck with our trees. They also do a wagon ride around the park.  This year we had the challenge of finding a tall and narrow tree due to the space in our living room.  It took a little longer searching, but fortunately the weather was pretty nice for December.

How does this one look?

Wagon ride!

 Edith fell asleep on the wagon ride.  She was out!  She didn't wake up getting into the car, going home and then we stuck her in her crib. I guess the tree searching really wore her out! Eddie loved helping Daddy put up the lights. After naptime the kids helped decorate the tree with ornaments. We still don't have a tree topper, so Uncas stuck a little Santa hat on top!

Pretty tree!
