One of my favorite things about Christmas is getting a Christmas tree. I love the adventure of getting the tree, setting up the tree, decorating the tree, and staring at the tree for hours after everyone has gone to bed.
This year Justin wasn't really in the mood to travel to the mountain and chop a tree down. I was desperate to get a tree, we were already two weeks behind schedule in my book. So we compromised and went down the road to a local tree farm. Due to Justin's crazy schedule we let the kids stay home from school so we could find our tree as a family. The kids were certain we needed the bright blue flocked tree. Justin and I found a semi-descent tree we both liked. We even let the kids pick out a $5 dollar tiny tree for upstairs. They felt super excited. I loved it because it gave me a perfect place to hang all the not so pretty ornaments.
We had a wonderful day of decorating, trains, lights, stockings, and of course pizza.

Cute! I still want pictures of your decorated tree and the kids mobile tree. Also your kids are so dang cute!!!
How fun for the kids to have their very own tree. Your photos turned out really well. I'll bet your kids will never forget that you let them miss school to get a tree....you have a lot to live up to next year. You are such a wonderful mother. I remember begging, absolutely begging mom each day to let us decorate the tree. She would never have let us miss a day of school for it.
Sounds like the best day ever! I bet the kids loved it. Also Eliza needs a homemade figure on her stocking too! She feels left out. ;) Love ya!
