Yes, we are finally the proud owners of a Christmas tree. Usually we would have already had our tree for almost 2 weeks but with our schedule this year we just now got around to getting it this past weekend. The kids loved riding the wagon/tractor out to the field to select a tree. We have had some icy weather so the kids kept slipping and sliding down the hills as we walked among the trees. The perfect tree was found after only searching a short time. I think it was the third one we looked at and liked. Jason went to gather up his hat and the saw which we had used to mark two other trees we liked. The kids supervised Jason cutting the tree down and then assisted in pulling the tree up the hill.
Once we got the tree home it was time to trim it a little and get it set up in the house. Priss was upset that we didn't put the ornaments and lights on, but was appeased when I allowed her to help decorate the house some. She was in charge of the nativity scene and Swee was in charge of helping with some of the other non-breakable decorations.
I can't wait to get the lights on so that we can enjoy it more at night time.
