Oh Christmas Tree


"Hi Christmas Tree" is what Nick says every morning when we come down the stairs. He seems to really like the tree and only wants the lights on. He's also taken a liking to the "balls" which are glass and break very easily. He usually brings me at least one a day and requests that I put it back on. The nativity scene has also become a new favorite toy which provides hours of fun.

This year we were fortunate enough to have a late Thanksgiving so Nana and Babo were still in town when we decided it was time to get the tree. Our new tradition includes a visit to the tree farm where we were able to cut it down. Of course this was heaven for a 2 year old. Saws, tree haulers, peppermint candy canes, Babo, what more does he need? When asked which tree he wanted, he proceeded to walk about 1/4 mile to a very small tree on the edge. Good try buddy, maybe next year :).

So proud of the tree and the fact he's still helping Babo

The end result!
