We fully intended to make this afternoon all about Christmas decorating and then the day got in the way. It wasn't until about 5:00 that we realized how late it had become and that we better get moving or we wouldn't be getting our Christmas tree this year!
So we piled in the car, on this oh so frigid night, and drove to the kid's school parking lot. Since this is our second year in a row buying our tree at this lot, I guess it is our new family tradition! We had a really fun time walking through the snow to find a tree just the right size for our little house and then waiting for the Boy Scout, his mom and Tommy to devise the best way to tie it to the roof of the Subaru.
We ended up stopping halfway home to tuck the blanket back up on the roof again this year. I tried to be artsy and take a photo of Tommy's reflection in the side view mirror - this is all I got.
Once we got home the kids had a great time putting the lights and ornaments on the tree. Lyla actually had more fun pulling the ornaments off the tree so the tree is quite top heavy this year. It is so fun watching our kids get so much joy out of the holiday traditions we are forming with them.
