On Saturday, we bought our Christmas tree from a tree farm, and it was a fun experience! When I was growing up, we would go to a place where we could cut the tree down ourselves, while sipping hot spiced cider, and the place we went this year brought back a lot of those memories.
Taking a wagon ride out to the trees
We found it! A pretty Frasier fir (yes, it may look a little big, but we trimmed it down :-))
Ryan, all business, getting ready to cut down our tree :-)
Saw, saw, saw!
Waiting by Santa's sleigh for our tree to be wrapped and ready
After a little trimming (to get it to fit in the living room), and nest removal (using the hose extension to vacuum a tree was a new experience for me!), we got the tree up and decorated! Taylor was quite interested in the tree the next morning, (she stared and did a lot of chattering when we held her up to the tree), but she learned pretty quickly that it can be a little prickly to touch! The ornaments were still rather interesting to her, and I am pretty sure we will be re-hanging a lot of ornaments between now and Christmas. :-)
Checking out the ornaments
Checking out other Christmas decorations (the carolers are from my parent's house that we used to put out every Christmas) - both the carolers and Frosty play music, and Taylor loved them!
This little person is the best Christmas gift I could ever ask for!! :-)
(new bunny pj's from grandma mem - with little ears on the feet that she loves to pull! :o))
Merry Christmas!!
