Last Saturday Mark, Evelyn, and I went and got our Christmas tree! This year though instead of going to a boring ol' lot, we found a Christmas tree farm about 25 minutes away and went and picked our own! It was pretty fun, much more fun than a lot and actually a better price and looked better too! :) Anywho...Evelyn was excited to go get one although from the get go she was like, I want a baby tree (she wants everything baby...baby chip, aka: small piece of chip, etc....she also wants everything PINK but I'll get into that later :). So we get there and go in, which first off there was Santa in there and she did not want to go near him. Although this year she didn't cry when she saw him so that's improvement. The closest she would go to him (this IS just like last year) was to reach the candy cane he was giving her....oh Evelyn...silly, silly girl. :)
So after she got her candy cane we headed out to look at trees...we'd ask her if she liked this one or that one and she'd always say no. Baby tree. Ugh. That girl is PERSISTENT! So we kinda just let her run down the aisles and I found one I really liked, Mark approved, Evelyn didn't care, so we got it! :) They did have some small trees but those were kinda pricey for a small one so we skipped that and instead we are gonna have my friend get us one of the ones you can planet yourself, which I thought would be cool. I didn't get it while we were there cuz I didn't think of it but it is a cool idea. Buy the tree now and watch it grow while Evelyn grows, super cute! And only $2 so why not? :)
Anywho...we packed up our tree and headed home. Luckily Evelyn took a nap right after that and Mark and I set it up and put the lights up and got the ornaments ready so when Evelyn woke up she could help us decorate! She really enjoyed that, then got bored, then we let her put on the star and she was excited again :) After that we hung up our stockings, got out the nativity, and wa-la! Christmas cheer! :)
Santa, no...candy, yes!
this one, Evelyn? nope....
cheese!
nope..that's not the one...let's keep lookin....
baby tree!
oh goodness, this girl is just something else! look at that little poser....she was too good to help daddy put hooks on ornaments so she sat like this and watched him do it for awhile....
wait, what? you want me to put it on the tree? :)
boooring!
now this is more fun!
And there you have it! Happy December everyone!
