Christmas tree time!

I forgot to post this one before the Christmas Eve post!  We went and picked our tree (it was actually Brad's turn) the first weekend of December.  I think the poor thing was already almost dead because it only drank the first few days and then just turned brown and lost a ton of needles. We let the kids take turns picking out the tree they like best.  This year Brad picked but I think next year we need to go as soon as they get them set up on the lot.  We were about two weeks after they put them out so they were really dried out.  (Eli was asleep in the car so I stayed with him and just got out to have my picture taken with the fam). Oh, and the kids made sure to remind Dennis to not drive into the garage because there was a tree on top of the car! (Last year he forgot and almost ruined the tree;)

What a great memory you guys have. We have only done a real tree a couple of times and it is so fun to go and pick it out. There is the danger of them not making it and one of mine did not either.

I miss the smell of the real trees but it is easier to put up a fake one whenever you want to! Love this picture!
