Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!

With our outdoor lights already up and most of the indoor decorations out, we decided it was the perfect time to go out and get our family Christmas tree! We drove to the faraway land of Home Depot and scouted long and hard (about 5 minutes) for the perfect tree. With our new tree strapped to the roof of our car, we happily drove home. Caroline kept pointing at the sunroof and saying, "bah, bah" with a look of great concern on her face. She seemed to think we were unaware of the giant tree tied to the top of her car!

Once home, we snapped the tree into our trusty stand, strung it with lights and decorated it in no time. Caroline was semi-helpful. She thought the ornaments were balls though, and we had several close calls with ornaments getting tossed around the room. Mommy remembered to put the non breakable ornaments on the bottom of the tree since little hands like to explore anything within reach! After that we added our presents underneath, and our completed tree looked fantastic!

Caroline's favorite thing about the tree is the lights. Every time we turn them on, she says, "whoooaaaa!" It never gets old to hear her say it :)


I'm not too impressed with this selection, Daddy, but I guess this one will do...



What a pretty tree! And yes, that's a popsicle in my hand :)


Daddy and I had blueberry pancakes for breakfast next to our Christmas tree!
