Christmas Tree 2009

This past weekend we ventured back to the mountains to cut down our Christmas tree again, and it was the perfect time to go because IT SNOWED!!!! It was so beautiful, and the farm that we chose this year had a nice warm building with popcorn and hot chocolate and a GREAT selection of trees. Unfortunately, after about 10 minutes of browsing said trees, Danny was left alone to do the final choosing because Miss Kloe was NOT enjoying the cold! Although she was bundled up like Ralphie's little brother, she wasn't happy!! (Or maybe the bundling is why she wasn't happy....hmmmmm....)

At any rate, Danny did a FANTASTIC job and chose what has to be our best tree EVER!!!!!! I am so excited because it looks amazing and it is the perfect size for the family room! And even though decorating the tree isn't my favorite task...I know, very Scrooge-y of me...I do love to see all of our special ornaments and tell Kalee the stories behind them. And we only had one minor mishap with a break, which was easily repaired!

So we are really in the Christmas spirit here...Danny put up the lights outside while the girls and I were in MD for Thanksgiving and they were soooooooo excited to see them when we pulled in the driveway after our agonizing 10 hour drive! Kloe loves to stand in the window and yell "YIGHTS" at the top of her lungs when we turn them on every night! And Kalee is hooked on the movie Elf, which is absolutely hilarious! Also, she finally watch Christmas Vacation and really liked that, too. She is definitely her mother's daughter though, because she spouts off lines from the movies constantly!!!! She even asked Danny if he had a saw on the way to the Christmas tree farm!!!

So here are some pictures of this weekend's adventures......
