On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, we decided to go get our Christmas tree. We always get a live tree and drive down to a farm outside of Bernice, LA. We have never gotten a tree this early, but the next few weekends are busy, so it was really the only time we had to get it up. The farm has tons of trees and the kids had a great time running through them!
We only got a few posed pictures, as the kids would not be still and pose, but that is nothing new! The kids wore their personalized Christmas tree shirts that I ordered from a friend of Julie's.
We finally selected this tree as our 2010 Colvin family tree.
The guys cut it and strapped it to the top of Mitch's vehicle. We ran into his cousin's wife and their kids, so we visited with them before we were on our way. At home I worked on the tree lights while Mitch worked on the outside lights. We decided to use the red and green lights that we've previously put outside on the tree this year. They didn't show up in the picture but we both really like them on the tree and decided that may be what we use from now on.
Oh! To have a live tree again... (so impractical in Phoenix. Sad face.)
ReplyDeleteI love the pajamas. I think I need some. :) Your kids are adorable. Looks like a great start to the holiday season!!
