Then there was 4: I like THIS one!

Last Saturday was Sean's only Saturday of December off (gotta love retail) so we decided it was the perfect time to go pick out our Christmas Tree.

Now let me tell you this. When we first were married, we lived in an apt. so we couldn't get a real tree. I have always had a real tree so our first year in our house, I was pumped to get a real tree. Sean was a little skeptical, but I talked him into it. The next year, there was some discussion about it, but again, we got a real tree. This year, there was any thought about NOT getting a real tree. I think I've broken him down!

Anyway, we decided to make a day of it! We headed out the door to breakfast and watched some really FAT snowflakes fall, then headed to the Andersons. I love real trees, but I'm not about to go out to a farm in 20 degree weather just to chop down our own tree. Matte helped us find a great one and we loaded onto the Envoy! Once we were home, Matteo was a great helper to dad as they got the tree up. Then we had a slight pause in the action for someone's nap!

Once he got up, and after the TPG Christmas Party (we had a blast but were too busy to get any pics, sorry) we put the lights up and ornaments! I'm actually pretty impressed with Matteo. He really like handing us the bulbs, but does a good job of not yanking too many off the tree.

We also taught him how to turn the lights on the tree on and off with the foot swith we have. I really likes doing this, but I think the neighbors might think we're trying to communicate thru Mores Code!!

Picking out our Tree!
