Resurrecting the blog to track our activities for the December Daily album. In all of my free time since I left the firm, I have taken up scrapbooking again-in a slightly modified format but I am back to being the family memory keeper. And.I.Love.It. Also in said extra time-I have plotted 25 days of Christmas activities.
Day 1=success.
A little decorating (which is a success in and of itself since ALL Of my Christmas decorations from over the years were ruined last year. That is a story for another day!)
And onto the tree!!! We headed out to the same tree farm that we visited last year-Saum's Family Farm off of St. Rt. 159. We searched and searched and searched. The boys even hitched a ride on the tree cart.

When I spied this beauty at the very LAST row in the back of the tree farm. Chad wasn't thrilled about the size of the tree in general...or the size of the trunk that he was going to have to saw through....but I was.in.love. And.....wait for it....it was FIFTEEN dollars. Yes, my friends, $15. The thing is 12+++feet tall and probably 5 feet wide. PERFECT. Being the phenomenal husband that he is....he agreed.

It wasn't easy but it was up for the task.
The boys and I waited patiently...Kobey even got a shot of me. I soooooo wish I had lost the baby weight but I at least I get to be part of the story.
Once it was finally down...we had to make the LONGGGGG trek back to the front of the farm.
And now this beauty (beast?) is in my dining room! She needs more lights and a few finishing touches and Chad to rig up the star somehow but... IT IS BEGINNING TO LOOK ALOT LIKE CHRISTMAS!!!
