Oh, Christmas Tree

A couple of years ago we found a fantastic deal on Christmas trees at our local hardware store.  It wasn't very glamorous - picking up a tree from a hardware store - but it worked for us.

We ended up doing the same thing last year!

This year was no different!  Yesterday, after our Pajama Day at the Park, Brian suggested getting a tree.  We all thought that would be a good idea but also thought it would be good to get Little Miss Early Bird down for a nap at some point.  So, once again, Brian ventured out alone to pick up our Christmas tree.  He stopped at Menard's and selected a great tree.  He tied it up on top of his car, drove home, and hauled it in the house like the strong husband and daddy he is.

Meanwhile, Kate and I napped and then played!

Our tree!

Untied and letting the branches settle!

Kate and I played with our marble track while
we waited.

She loves this!

And so do I!

I promise our Christmas Tree traditions will become way more family friendly, even if that means we all drive out to our local store and pick out a wrapped tree together!  For now, we do what we can to make our lives easier and Daddy picking up the tree again this year worked perfectly!

Happy Christmas!
