Getting our Xmas tree is one of our favorite things to do. This is our second year getting our tree from "Beaver"...that's his actual name....I can't make that up....He's from Wisconsin. My parents have been going to him for years, and we are happy to be added to his client list! My parents put a little more time into their Xmas tree selection than we do...I think we may have picked the 1st one we saw, but as Rob always said "Best One EVER!" (Side note: I texted my dad that we got his tree and his text back was "A Balsam?" Ha Ha...I had no idea what type, we literally picked the 1st one we saw...it was FREEZING!)
"It's a beut!"
Then, VAN-essa got her first experience with our Xmas tree (I mean, who could have a minivan and not name her VAN-essa?????) A minivan with a Xmas tree on top..If we weren't suburb-ites yet...we sure are now!)
Then came the fun part, decorating! Abigail was so excited to see her ornaments from the past...and Caitlin was just happy to be able to play in the tissue paper as I unwrapped them. Our ornaments all have special meanings, we don't have any just "ornaments" on our tree. We get an ornament on every vacation so we always remember our vacations! And then, for Xmas each year, the kids each get an ornament to mark something special from that year (last year Caitlin got her "1st Xmas" ornament and Abigail got her "Big Sister" ornament). So putting up ornaments is so much fun because it's full of stories...I'm sure the kids will dread these stories one day!
1st ornament on tree was one Abigail made at school
Caitlin got to help Daddy put the star on the tree this year!
Drum Rol Please......

It won't be long before the pickle makes it's way into the famiy tradition.
It is so funny to see Abigail putting on her green contsruction paper tree, since we still have all three of the same kind that you girls made. They are still my favorite ornaments.
The tree looks great!!! We do the same thing with ornaments. It makes decorating a lot more fun!! Merry Christmas!
