We're going on a tree hunt . . .

Tonight, we went looking for our Christmas tree. It's so fun to have a real one, we've converted ourselves as of last year. I have so many very fond memories of going to look for our tree with my dad when I was little. We would walk by all the trees, marked for cutting with our neighbors' last names on them, until we came to our perfect 7-8 foot tree.
Audrey and Parker REALLY wanted a white, flocked tree. They do have a sort of retro, cheesy charm about them. Maybe next year. We chose a perfect little 5-6 foot tree, and it's a beeyoot. (that's hard to spell)

looking, looking, . . .

acting like weirdos as usual . . .

Miles and me, cozy and warm (it was 82 degrees today)

The winner: this nice blurry tree will look great in our living room.

We're decorating it tomorrow, because you know all those symptoms listed on the NyQuil bottle? Stuffy head, cough, etc.? Ya, well, I have that.

It's so strange to see tree shopping without coats, hats, and mittens. :)

At first I was thinking "where are they, with snow on the ground?" but I clicked the photos and saw the rocks. We actually just put up our tree tonight, my first fake tree ever... sniff, sniff... I love the way it looks (which I was very afraid of getting a ridiculously cheap looking one with the budget we put on it)Garden Ridge pulled through once again! I will miss the pine smell though for the next couple years... that is one of my favorite things about christmas.
