We got a real, live tree this year!
Scot aspires to be Clark Griswald, I think. We couldn't just go to Lowe's and get a tree like everybody else. We were going to cut down our own.
The kids were all business.
Then we found it. Cutting it down was a 3-man job.
What did Eli do while Scot cut and I took pictures? Grazed on pine needles and practiced his baby yoga. We're really good parents like that.
So now we have a Christmas tree.
We also have 3 broken ornaments (and counting) and a broken advent calandar courtesy of curious little hands.
Ah, well. 'Tis the season.
Love this post! You all are such a special family!

Ha ha!!!
ReplyDeleteHave you seen those candy Advent calenders at the grocery store? They're so cool.
Here's to broken ornaments-cheers!
Oh I am SO excited that you did that! We cut our own one year as a child and it is an ICONIC childhood memory for me. Your kids will really cherish this, and I'm sure you're loving the smell of a real tree too. Amy, it is killing me that we don't live closer because I would hire you to take pics of us. I would insist on paying you and it would be great because yours are better than what I see on these websites so I'd know for sure I was getting the quality I wanted.
