Well, after years of an artificial tree, we finally went to a tree farm and cut our own tree down! Now, our house smells like pine tree and cinnamon pine cones (I discovered those last year- they're the best!).
So, it was nothing like finding a tree in Wisconsin. It was almost 70 degrees outside. Jeremiah was in shorts and a t-shirt and I was way over-clothed and suffered the consequence. Pregnant woman in too many clothes= SERIOUS hot flashes. But, regardless of the weather, we tried to make it fun. Elijah happened to be crabby- a typical mood for him lately... Maybe he's pregnant, too. He always tells me there's a baby in his tummy.
Anyway, we went to a tree-farm where they took us on a hay-ride to the hill of trees. It was a neat experience. The tree selection wasn't all that great, but going to another tree farm wasn't an option for us at that point in our son's crabby day, so we picked the best one we could find and it worked out just fine.
The whole gang- ready for the hay-ride to the tree hill
Elijah doing what he does best... whipping out his "jingle bells" and peeing in the grass- no shame
After some drama, we found our tree
Elijah and Daddy cutting the tree down
My Dad and Brother Willy, graciously tying the tree to their van
Elijah decorating the tree in his usual attire- his underwear
The Finished Product

I love the jingle bells ;) !!!! I'm glad you're not raising him to be too proper and prissy!
ReplyDeleteHey, what's wrong with watering the trees? He was just trying to help them out. I mean, it is all hot and sunny there. Which leads me to believe, I should consider Missouri for retirement. How wonderful to wear shorts in November!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome picture of the jingle bells. Oh Eli! I love it!!!Great job on the blogging Randi!
