Oh Christmas Tree!

December 4, 2012

As I said yesterday, we got our tree this weekend. It was a gorgeous day with temps in the 70’s…sounds like Christmas weather, huh?! Last year we got our tree at Home Depot and while it looked great, it was hard to find a good tree there because they have them all stacked up on each other. This year we decided to go back to a tree lot like we did 2 years ago.

Robert and Maxwell checking out all the trees…

I like how you can see the shadow of me and Spencer in the carrier…kinda like a family portrait! πŸ™‚

Maxwell helping Dad measure to see if it’s the right size…

I’d like to say he’s actually “helping” Robert but Maxwell is actually about to throw a fit in that picture because he didn’t want to hand over the tape measure to Dad. Holly Jolly!

This is the one!

Bringing the tree home…

Looks just right!

That night, Maxwell helped me decorate the tree while the AL v. GA SEC Championship game was on. I was watching while decorating and liked having the distraction from the occasional tension in the room when the score wasn’t going the right way! Luckily we ended the night with a beautiful tree and an AL win!

Me and my helper…

My other helper was snoozing away in the swing…best way he could have helped!

I think it’s the best one yet! and, yes, we say that every year! πŸ™‚

and, my favorite pic from the night…

He really was a great helper handing me ornaments and telling me where to hang them. Christmas is so much more fun with kiddos around!

Happy birthday to Aaron today! Hope it’s a great one!

ps – I put that picture and others on Instagram. Are you on Instagram? I’m sjpbrown. Follow me and I’ll follow you!

Would love to hear from you! 5 Comments

    Wow, blown away by the tree!

    Probably more blown away from the pics from last year. Was Maxwell really that young? Holy cow!
