how i love this time of year. from the decorating to the gift giving to the many smells.
our usual day-after-thanksgiving christmas tree hunt was pushed back a day since i took part in the crazy black friday shopping festivities.
what a special day--
we headed out mid-morning
the sun was shining and the air was crisp
perfect weather to search for that perfect christmas tree
we usually look for at least an 8-footer, but this year i wanted something smaller, something thinner...something simpler
this tree was perfect
so, the cutting began
everyone took a turn
you see, the last few weeks have been crazy
we haven't had much family time
and the time we have had has been spent in our home
while i'm thankful to have time at home together, it was really special to just get out of the house
it didn't take long and the tree was down
these 3 jumped in each grabbing a branch and headed off towards the truck
we ended up with a perfect 7-footer
and a perfect family outing
can you find the pink hat???
the stripes are a little easier to spot
the rest of the day was spent decorating with the highlight being the placing of the tree topper which happened to be lia's turn. who knew a $2 plastic silver star would turn out to be so special.
