O Christmas Tree
Last Sunday, we met up with Bill's family to go to a tree farm. They grow christmas trees and you can go in to their forest and cut down your very own tree. So we told the girls to pick their tree. I didn't want to persuade them to get my kind of tree, we wanted them to get their tree.
This was Bill's family swarming the forest. As you get in deeper the trees get fuller and taller. This is the tree that Emma chose. Jadyn wasn't very interested.
Emma fell in love with this tree. She hugged it and everytime we asked her if she wanted a little bit bigger tree, she'd say NO. So we brought the saw out and chopped down the tree. It didn't take so long b/c the tree stump was so little.
When we brought the tree in, Hubs and I couldn't help but laugh hysterically. The tree is so tiny. It was so funny. But it was perfect for the girls to put the ornaments on the tree by themselves. They had a lot of fun with that. Jadyn just loved piling the ornaments on the same branch. She's so funny. Jonah just rolled around in his walker around us. I thought he'd want to touch the tree or touch the ornaments but he didn't find the tree very interesting.
It was fun. They can't wait until Santa comes...

Sounds like so much fun! Love seeing them squat to watch Bill cut the tree down! I'm looking forward to doing that with ESK when she gets older.
that's such a wonderful tradition~ so cute that emma chose a tree just her size. :) i'm looking forward to having a tree again, as our apt is just too small to hold a mobile infant and all his toys and the xmas tree. :( :)
army crawl... yes, N did have a short stage of that too, although i'm not sure if it's a boy thing. i hear my one friend's daughter doing just that. whatever way they choose, isn't it amazing how they learn?
oh, what a cute tree! looks like so much fun! we'll have to go cut our own tree sometime.
so cute!
oh cuteness... I forgot to give you a bunch of stuff...I have maternity clothes and boy clothes for ya.... I knew I had more to send home with you the other day... but my head just won't work the way I want it too... I hope it works again one day...wm
So cute! It's a good thing that Jonah's not that interested in the tree and its ornaments!! :)
It's the MOST PERFECT tree! So funny, LN first picked (we did fake tree this year) the smallest one and then picked the biggest one - and she also overdecorated just one branch and I had to spread them out for her.
Emma did a wonderful job picking out the best tree ever! What a smart girl - she knew it should be her size for her and Jadyn to decorate...
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
