The Tree Hunt and Trimmings

We headed out to Dog Valley in search of the perfect tree last weekend. It was a success! While the weather cooperated, the lack of snow sure makes it feel like it is not Christmas. It was definietly chilly though. Nick was able to play with his chainsaw from last year's Christmas and we were able to enjoy the kids in the outdoors. Once the tree made it home, it was time to decorate. Carson figured it was his responsibility to show us where each ornament should be hung....and wasn't pleased if we didn't follow orders. Van loved the lights and tangled himself in them more than a few times. Even now, days after decorating, the boys prefer to spend their time in the 'Christmas Room', just hanging out by the tree. Just wait until there are presents.....
