Oh Christmas Tree

I can't help but want to sing

"Oh, Christmas Tree. Oh, Christmas Tree"

whenever I look at our Christmas Tree.

James and I decided that last year was the last time we would have a real Christmas tree.

Unfortunatly, it turns out this year is the last time we will have a real christmas tree

(I hope any ways)

As much as I love the smell of the tree,

 I hate knowing that we have a creature living in our tree.

Throughout the day I'll hear weird noises and shaking coming from our glorious tree.

It freaks me out.

And no, it's not Lincoln :)

James said that our tree is "gonezo" on December 26th.

And as much as I hate to see the tree get taken down.

It has to go.

It's already completely dead

and the creature living in it freaks me out.

Anyways-

We went and picked out our lovely tree at good old Harmons.

I wanted it to be a fun, family event

but it never turns out the way you plan it.

Between freezing, and almost getting hit by cars in the parking lot,

we managed to find a tree and take it home.

When we got home we started decorating it.

I love decorating a Christmas tree

I especially loved it this year because we got all new ornaments.

And i loved it because Lincoln helped put all the ornaments on the bottom branches of the tree.

Winston was a saint and just sat on Daddy's lap while they watch, "Elf"

 After we decorated our Tree

Lincoln wrote Santa a letter, 

where he drew a picture and asked for a Choo Choo Train for Christmas

That night the Pajama Elf came and got Lincoln's letter and left Linc and Winston Christmas Jammies.

 I just love kids in jammies

 ...AND you know you're done taking pictures when big brother decides to roll over little brother...
