Oh Christmas Tree...

We finally cut our Christmas tree down last Saturday morning. The farm we went to was really small. This first picture was one "lot" of trees. There were 2 others a little bigger, but nothing like what we were used to in Indiana! The other thing is that they are ALL a type of cypress tree...no pines, spruces, or fir trees like we're used to. The nice thing is that they're like all perfectly shaped.



We let the girls pick the tree out:



Anyways, we got it home, and over the next 2 days we got it set up & decorated....numerous times! :) I was gone Saturday afternoon, and I guess it fell over twice Saturday, then Sunday night after the kids had decorated it, it fell over again. Luckily, only 1 ornament broke, (mainly because since the kids had decorated it, the ornaments were only on the bottom half!) but the 1 ornament was Mackenzie's special ornament with her name on it! Figures...

Camden hanging his special ornament with his name on it:



He was thrilled to "help" decorate:
