tree

Finding a tree at our favorite tree lot is one of my favorite traditions! It's a funny thing, having traditions with my little family of five. We love it!
Usually we wait until December, but the boys talked us into it the day after Thanksgiving this year. We also usually go at night after Adam gets off of work, so it was different going in the day. It was still so very cold though! Brrr.

Adam finds the good ones and I give the okay or no way. :)



I hurried to put the lights on so the boys could decorate and they were too excited and took everything out. I love it.

Elliott wanted to put all the photos of years past on the tree...

They were making up funny games with everything.
They even got to help Daddy on the roof. ;/

They did a really good job. I had to move a few things around and put things on the top, but otherwise I was impressed with their skills.

We got some cute painted egg shells from Prague, and we remembered to put them on after the boys went to bed. Pretty special I say.

Yippee!! So excited for Christmas time!
