On December 1st, we went to find our Christmas Tree. Again, we debated whether or not to go and chop one down, or just buy one from a lot. We finally decided to chop one down. For the kids sake--so they could have that experience.
Trying to find the best one
Noah trying to keep his hat out of his eyes.
Found it! Notice how tall it is. Ya, Garrett likes to get extremely tall ones and then cut off a bunch when he gets home and realizes that it barely fits in the garage, let alone the house. That's alright. I love a tall tree too. Too bad our ceilings are only 9ft.
At least we didn't have the problems that we had last year. In fact, we actually took both of our cars so that Garrett could throw the tree in the back of his truck. He was very happy about that.
We decorated it the next day after church and dinner for FHE. Grandma and Grandpa came over to share in the festivities.
These two were laying on the ground and looking at the pretty lights and I thought it was so cute.
Love how Noah's watching Bella. These two are such great friends.
Putting the lights on.
Lydia was volunteered to put the angel on the tree. She was a bit freaked out. She didn't want to fall.
She did it!
Adding the ornaments
I love having the red and white lights. I think it is so beautiful! Couldn't see the kids very well, so had to take another one with the lights on.
Then they started being silly and were playing in the ornament box.
Kids! Gotta love them! :)
This was the next day at Paige's tap class. For the first dance that they learn of the year, it was a dance to the Grinch song. So, they each got to wear these gloves that look like the grinch. It was really cute. I know the pictures are blurry, but it's hard to get pictures through the glass on your phone.
She's hard to see, but she's the very back one in the white shirt.
