Last night we went to the tree stand to pick out our Christmas Tree. The kids had SOOO much fun! They were so serious about the perfect tree. We barely got parked and they were already in the midst of the trees. We found the perfect tree and watched the man put the tree on top of our car - exciting. When we drove home, we drove through Hemby Bridge and they were lighting the town's lights! They loved all the great decorations.
The Perfect Tree
Santa - they were cutting the bottom off our tree - Harper thought it was too loud
Tonight we decorated the tree - they LOVED it! They were singing and really enjoying putting each one up. This was Harper's first year participating in the tree decorating. He was so good at trying to get the little strings on each branch.
Good thing Daddy is tall - with some team work they were able to get the ornaments on the highest branches!
Carly gave Finley an ornament to put on the tree. Finley held the bottom of it and Carly looped the string on the branch - it was so sweet.
Look how happy they are - Christmas time is getting better and better each year when you build up new, fun traditions.
After we finished decorating, we made fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and then had a campout. I read them some Christmas stories and they snuggled in for the night under the tree. They were so excited.
The giggles and the laughter was so awesome to hear! We had so much fun tonight - great tradition!! We will need to tweek the schedule for next year though. They were just so excited and at 9:00 tonight I did send them to their beds. The evening took a little longer than expected so they didn't have time to play and get their giggles out before bed, so when they got in bed, they were too excited. They didn't mind going to bed - they just hopped out and went in their room. Next time we will set the tent up with ample time for them to play! But regardless, it was a wonderful evening!
