Tree Shopping

Today Mom and Dad took me to get my first real christmas tree for our house. It was unusually warm and a perfect day to go chop one down. Mom put on my hat and sweatshirt and we were off!

They took me to this tree farm a few miles from home that only the locals know about that was hidden away. Mom didn't lie, and the cute older man was there to greet me with candy canes in his basket. I told him next year I would be able to eat them!

 Holy moly, there were a lot of trees to choose from!

 I got to sit in Santa's sleigh. But, Santa and his reindeer were still at The North Pole getting ready for Christmas Dad said.

 Domenique and Al came with us to get a tree. Baby Jackson

please come out soon so I can meet you!

 We found a tree! It was a little sparse on one side,

 but nothing mom can't spruce up with garland. 

 Dad cut it down in less than a minute all by himself!

Domenique and Al found a tree too!

 Mom put all the Disney ornaments on the silver tree in the living room.

And a few extra Hello Kitty ornaments that didn't fit on my tree on this one.

Here is her nutcracker collection. She just loves them!

Finally, mom put plastic ornaments on the tree outside of the house. She even decorated the neighbor's tree to spread the Christmas cheer.

Dad put up the christmas lights outside. And we were done!

When 4:30 pm came around the lights popped on and I was in love!

 Then, we decorated the real tree together listening to christmas tunes. Dad put one of his favorite soccer ornaments right in the center of the tree so it could be seen. Can you spot it?

 Here it is all done! How pretty!

 Here are a few of the ornaments. A J for Jason. A hamburger and grill Mom got Dad a few years ago. A peice of wedding cake. And a few other neat ones.

 Mom finished up the tree after I went to bed. Dad lit a fire and Mom hung our stockings. She is going to run to Target tomorrow to get two more stocking holders for JJ and Perry's stockings.

Looking forward to the rest of my first holiday season!
