A week or so into December we all packed in the car so we could find the perfect Christmas tree. We didn't go too far, just to our local hardware store. 
We walked up and down the rows and rows of trees, until we found the right tree just for us.
It was a cold night, but we all bundled up as best we could.
Violet by the end was pretty crabby, but Wes did his best to keep her spirts high. He held her close while our tree was trimmed and wrapped up tight.
We loaded the tree on top of the car and headed home. We set up the tree, decorated it, and gave it plenty of water.
There is something about a real Chirstmas tree that just can't be matched. The smell is amazing and the full green branches are so beautiful. It finally began to feel like Christmas once we had our tree. Suprisingly Violet did a really good job not playing with the ornaments. She would ask each of us to pick her up so she could look at the different ornaments. She particularly liked the crab ornaments that we picked up in Oregon on our trips. Lydia and Adelle were great decorators this year and were so helpful! I couldn't have done it without them.

I love the smell and feeling of a fresh cut tree. It's all the more special when the whole family goes to pick it out. ...j
