'O Christmas Tree, 'O Christmas Tree...

We picked out our Christmas tree this weekend.  We like the Frasier Firs and had fun looking for the perfect one.  Actually, I just follow everyone around and take pictures.  J is the real tree picker outer. 


This one looks pretty good... about 8 feet tall.  We didn't want to go over 8 ft. or else the tree would fall into the next height category and therefore mean more money. :-)  Plus anything over 8 ft. would have a tough time fitting into our house!




J found these sweet old glasses while we were looking for our tree.  I think it brought back memories for him of when he really did have to wear glasses like that.  I think he looks hot! 

Daddy's # 1 helper!!!

Our super sweet Rawley watcher!

The tree before decorations...

And after the kids decorated it!!! 

I love this time of year! 
I love the smell of a fresh Christmas tree. 
I love the twinkling lights and homemade ornaments. 
I love the excitement the kids get from being able to plug in the lights and see their ornaments on the tree. 
I love the reason why we celebrate CHRISTmas!
Happy Christmas decorating!

Awesome!! Your tree looks amazing! I want to see it with the rest of the lights turned off... Maybe skype? :-)

The pics of the kids and Rawley chasing after Joel are great too... Not sure about those glasses on Joel though. You say hot... I say not. ;-)

Love you sis!
