The day after Thanksgiving is our day to get our Christmas Tree. First, we go to Pizza Hut and have pizza (a tradition carried over from my childhood), then we get a tree and take it home and decorate it. When my parents were in Michigan, there was a really cool Christmas Tree Farm we went to and chopped down our own tree and enjoyed some crafts and hot chocolate in the barn there. (Many of my Christmas decorations came from this place, including Bill's and my stocking holders.) But in Alabama, they don't really have that, so we had to go to a store called Lowe's to get it.
Eli, Brady, and Major loved running around in the trees trying to find the perfect one. Please disregard the pizza sauce all over Major's face and shirt. :-)
We found the perfect tree for our house. It was the perfect height, and very full and fat.
Daddy and Major put the star at the top of the tree.
After mommy and daddy put up all the lights, daddy and the boys put up the decorations.
Here is Major putting up his "baby's first Christmas" ornament from 2011.
Next, we have Brady putting up his "baby's first Christmas" ornament from 2008.
And then Eli with his "baby's first Christmas" ornament from 2005.
Then Eli wanted to get a picture of Bill and me with our first Christmas ornament from 2001...12 years ago! Wow!
This picture is Daddy and Major with our new ornament for 2013. It says "2013 Montgomery" for our first Christmas in our new home. Major absolutely loved putting up the ornaments. I was trying to get a good picture, but he would never look at me. He would not take his eyes off of that ornament, just waiting for the chance to put it on the tree.
