I just realized I forgot to put the pictures of us decorating our Christmas tree up! This year was quite the interesting year for picking out a tree. I looked everywhere to find a cut-your-own tree lot, but there was not a single one in Marquette county. We didn't have time to drive a long way to get one, so we ended up getting one from the drug store down the street. The night we got it was the beginning of a snow storm, so we left Charlie in the warm car as Pete and I searched (quickly, I might add) for a tree. The snow was blasting us in the face, it was freezing, and we really just wanted to find a tree that wasn't too mangled. We ended up getting a pretty good one! Charlie really liked putting the decorations on with us, and it was fun to show him all of our childhood ornaments. Last year I started the tradition of buying Charlie an ornament every Christmas, so when he moves out on his own (tear) he will have a stash of ornaments to take with him. Last year he got a silver bell with a blue ribbon on it, and this year it was an Elmo ornament. I am going to try and put the year on each one so we can trace them all back.
This will probably be my last post until after Christmas, so we hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season. Enjoy your families this Christmas, and we wish you peace, love and happiness in the year to come! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Our tree before the decorations.
Charlie liked the low branches best!
It was a little hard to get the ornament on by himself, so Daddy stepped in to help.
Mommy helped him reach some higher branches.
Not the best family pic (bad outfits, Payton isn't looking, not centered), but it's still a family pic in front of the tree!
