Christmas Tree Hunt....Take 2

So on the way home from our un-successful tree hunting trip...E and I decided that we would head out again on Sunday after church...but be a little more prepared this time - i.e. gas in the car, lot's of snacks for the kids, better idea of where to go and hopefully they would nap on the way in the car. We got home on Saturday afternoon and settled in a bit to the house and quickly changed our minds...there was NO WAY we were going to all the work to head out again to find a tree with the kids on Sunday.....TO MUCH WORK!!
So Saturday night A & E had a babysitter and E & I set out to find the "perfect" tree all on our own - AT MENARDS!! Not so fun for the kids - I know...but thankfully they really don't know any different at this point and they were not crushed to wake up and find a tree already up in the living room the next morning....MAYBE NEXT YEAR!!!



E very much likes to put the ornaments on AND take them back OFF again!


If A could have it her way - they would all be hanging on the same branch I think...


Em - just taking it all in.....

I'm with you! We did let the kids come with to get a tree but then we did NOT let them decorate it. Too much production and a too-tired mommy. There will be plenty of other years, right??
