Picking out the Tree

So we went the first week after Thanksgiving to pick out the Christmas Tree. Paige wanted it "really big, not small like the one we got last year" - so that was the plan. Unfortunately it took two attempts to find this special tree. They were out at the first Home Depot we went to so a couple nights later we went out again and found our special tree.

Brocky hiding with all the trees. Peek-a-boo!
Paige agreed that this was our tree!
All the kids watching closely as John unwraps the tree - will it be the one... no this one wasn't it. Notice they are in heavy jackets and caps but still wearing flippies - yep - it's So Cal here.

This is one of my favorite parts about Christmas. There is just something so fun about going out at night and picking the tree out. The kids love to run around and play in the pine needles.

Wow, Paige looks so different with a bow in her hair! Maybe it's just the location of the bow... I don't know.
