This was our trip to get our first REAL Christmas tree. Growing up we always had a real tree but ever since Jeff & I got married we never got one, until now. It was fun to go the place my mom has gone for nearly the last 10 years. I remember coming here in high school with my lab Bailey and he would go crazy sniffing every thing!
We had a fun time getting a tree and decorating it from about 2 feet up - you'll understand this method of decorating when you have small children. Luckily the tree only got tipped over once and we didn't put too many delicate ornaments on. The boys loved the lights and when we first plugged it in there was a lot of excitement with screaming and jumping and "Oooo"s and "wow"s. They must get that enthusiasm from their Dad.
There weren't any presents under the tree this year until Christmas Eve evening and then it was overflowing. You can't see it in the picture but there are presents nearly all the way around the tree. One of my favorite wrapping paper this year was some my sister bought for our family. It was John Deere Christmas paper. Thank you to all of the relatives who sent presents for the boys as well. They love every single thing they got and we even gave away old toys before Christmas to make room for the new ones. I think this may become a tradition in our house, it helps de-clutter the toy box and shelves.
