This year, we decided to get a real Christmas tree. We have in the past, but the debate around here is ongoing. The smell is wonderful and makes it seem like Christmas. The mess they make and having to throw it away, make it kinda hard to do, but in the end we decided to go for it. Now finding the perfect Christmas tree is serious business. When you add two little kids and cold weather, it makes the hunt all the more interesting. After looking at one place for 45 minutes, Sara and I decided our toes were frozen. We all decided that this place did not have the perfect Christmas tree. We went to 2 more places. Jon was the brave tough one of the fam who went out to find the perfect tree. Sara, Jonas and I hung out in the car and sang Christmas Carols. Then we got it home, and Jon had to drill the hole in it. Oh, the work that is involved :) Sara is so excited that we have our Christmas tree! She takes everyone that stops bye to see it. She tells people about it, and she even calls people on her pretend phone to let them know about it. So, overall it is definitely worth it :) She asks every night if all the people driving past our house or in the houses around us can see our Christmas tree. Kids sure do make Christmas exciting :) Sara was also a big help in hanging the ornaments. Jonas took a much more relaxed view of the whole event, but he does really like staring at all those lights!
