day 5

day 5

we drove up to the mountain

singing Christmas carols all the way

ventured deep into the woods

the kids happily walked for hours

found the perfect tree

will and chris excitedly cut it down

we loaded it onto the top of our car.

and peacefully drove home.

yeah right.

we actually drove 5 minutes to Home Depot

were inside maybe 5 more minutes

paid $32.97

chucked the tree

on top of the minivan

and raced home.

our family tradition is fast, cheap

and over before anyone can complain.

hmmm.

i do love the tree.

we decorated when we got home

i like our house so much better decorated.

Will loved the snacks

and Char loved chucking the glass balls on the floor

and shattering them.

he was saying ba (ball)

(see the word forming on his lips?)

as he did it so how could we deny him?

the dude has to learn to talk.

anyway...my favorite little houses

from last year

and my favorite new decorations.

and our extremely top heavy finished tree.

last but not least

our example of why preschool teachers

go to heaven.

they take time out of their life

to put together stuff like this.

thank you Mrs. S and Mrs. W???
