O' Christmas Tree!

With my husband's crazy work schedule, we have had the "Christmas Tree Day" marked on our calendar for months now.  You  only think I'm kidding!  I have been looking forward to today for quite some time now! 

This morning put a smile on my face: peeks of sunshine, my baby making improvements {health wise - sniffles and a remaining cough}, some SLEEP...  But as if things couldn't get better...Shaun and Jodi asked to come WITH us!  Umm...YES PLEASE! 

In the past, Christmas tree shopping was a family affair...but since we BOTH come from large families, its felt a little lonesome out there with just the three of us.  THIS was exciting!!!  So they met us at our hosue to follow us to our three-year-running favorite tree farm!

Jod-er-iffic!!
We left right after church and thought we would give Monkey Man a nap afterwards...but he kinda fell asleep in the car.  The cat-nap was the puuurrrfect timing and made him last the rest of the day - yippee!!

Santa hat + snowsuit + binky makes for one cozy snooze!

Does a face get more perfect?!?

 Then it was OFF to find the perfect tree...



Shaun and his little princess!



The Angel baby herself - Miss Ryanne!  WHAT a beauty, huh?!?



Monkey wanted to explore it all...ON HIS OWN!


"Is this the one??"


Hide & Seek in the trees =)



We found our perfect tree!



So different from anything we've chosen in years past, but I'm likin' it!


Daddy got to work!


Tag-teamin' it!


Why so grumpy Mr. Pouty-face?


*MELT*  Isn't he the CUTEST?!?  ;)


Watch carefully Lil Man...this will be your job someday!


Watching and longing for the "Choo choo"


FINALLY they found their perfect tree too ;)  Just funny...cuz Jodi was mentioning how picky I was earlier ;)
  Who knows how long that took....Shaun drug us all the way through the mud to save a buck...but we were game! =)  After Monkey has been drooling after the choo-choo (which drove past us 17,000 times just to intice him!) daddy caved and spoiled the Lil Man...which made me smile =)


A treat from daddy...CHOO CHOO!!!!



JUST because you have a Santa doesn't mean you can sit in Santa's CHAIR!! =)


He was REALLY enjoying this cookie - I promise!!  Just too big of a bite =)

Home at last...yay for PB&J!


Thank you Shaun, Jodi, and Ryanne for making our annual tradition a little EXTRA special this year!

so fun that you actually have a place to cut down a tree.. I wish my kids could grow up cutting down trees instead of "unraveling' them at the HD. haha
