Picking a Tree

Helping Dad tie the tree to the car.

Our Christmas Tree

I had planned to get our tree on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and get it all set up and the house decorated for Christmas but well that didn't happen. I guess that is what I get for having something all planned out in my head. I spent all day Saturday in bed and Robb held down the fort. I ended up calling in sick to work for Sunday and was still out of commission most of that day. We did end up finally getting our tree. Better late than never. We went to Oak Creek flower shop like Robb and I have since we first got married. At some point we probably need to go to the tree farm and do that whole thing but right now with 3 little kids it seems like that would just be really cold. For right now the flower shop works for us. They have beautiful trees to pick from and they are all in one spot. This year since I wasn't feeling great still and Bryce wasn't feeling so hot either we picked our tree pretty fast and ended up getting a really pretty 9 foot tree. Although it isn't my favorite tree we have ever got it is pretty. The boys had fun helping dad tie it to the car. We got it in the house that night but didn't do the decorating yet. Poor Bryce that had been complaining all day the he didn't feel good barfed all over the floor as Robb was bringing in the tree. So Bryce and I cuddled up and had a relaxing night.
A couple nights later Bryce and I were feeling better so we finally got to decorate the tree. Everyone had fun looking at the ornaments that their god parents get them each year that you can record your voice on. The boys put most of the ornaments on the tree by themselves. I had to even the ornaments out a bit after they went to bed but overall they did a great job.
They even put the tree up in their bedroom and helped Abby set up her little pink tree.
