We got our Christmas tree a week after Thanksgiving. We've never got it so early. I'm always worried it will die by the time Christmas comes around. But this year we decided to try getting it early. We went to Coates' Tree Farm, like we have for the past several years.
Jordan wanted this funny looking one.
And this one. He only wanted gigantic ones.
We found the perfect one. At least I thought it was perfect.
Doug likes to bring a tarp to try to stay as clean as possible when cutting down the tree.
The kids took a turn sawing.
Jackson wanted a Charlie Brown tree.
Timber!
Kenzie and Colie. Kenzie loves painting her face to look like either a dog or a cat. Coleman is wearing the same coat Jordan wore for the past 3 years. I keep looking at these pictures thinking it's Jordan. I didn't think the coat was that small for Jordan last year. But it looks like it fit Coleman perfectly.
Kenzie, Colie and Jordan.
Jack pretending he's flying.
Checking out the blow up toys.
Jordan wanted a picture with Santa's sleigh.
The kids played with the bubbles for a little bit.
I put the lights on the tree the next morning and then we decorated it. It usually takes several days before I put lights on and then several more before we put the ornaments on.
It was Colie's turn to put the star on the tree. Next year it will be Jackson's. He thought it was his turn this year, but luckily I blogged about it so we knew it was Coleman's.
We had to trim the top of the tree after the first time so Colie had to put the star on again.
