Trimming the tree.

After work last night, we decided to go get our Christmas Tree.  We could have done it this weekend, but I just have too much stuff going on this weekend to be messing with our tree - I need to finish my Christmas shopping, so that I can get gifts in the mail this up coming week to be sent back home.  I figure I need to account for a week of shipping time...so it has to be done this weekend.   So, since my weekend is already full of shopping I decided we should get our tree this week so we could get it decorated and beautiful and get to enjoy the tree for a couple of weeks before we leave for the holiday.

We decided to go to the place that we always go to - just down the road.  The family that offers the trees there are so nice and always so helpful.  Their trees might lean towards being on the more expensive side, but they are always beautiful trees.  We drove up, started milling around, when all 3 of the family came over and asked if they could help us pick something out.  We told them we like fragrant tallish skinny-ish trees, and within 10 minutes we had a tree strapped to the top of our car and were headed home.  Miss Muffit was thrilled and very excited.  The people were even nice enough to ask her if that was an ok tree that we picked, to which she agreed.

We got the tree set up in our stand, and after supper I got the lights put on so that little miss could come down after her bath and help me decorate it.  She was adorable and sweet putting on the little ornaments, and did a very good job considering she'd find a spot where she could get the ornaments to hang and then hang as many more as she could on that same exact spot.  Occasionally, Matt would come over and move a few of her concentrated ornaments to other parts of the tree.  It took us about 45 minutes to decorate and looks lovely.  I don't have a photo at the moment, but I will try to get one up.

Trimming the tree has been something I've always enjoyed - whether it be with my mom, grandma, or just by myself.  I'm so excited to have gotten to share this with my daughter - I hope it becomes something she looks forward to for many years to come!
