Christmas Tree

This year getting a Christmas tree there were no catastrophes, thank goodness! We had a safe trip & Carter loved hiking up into the mountains this year with daddy searching for the perfect tree {as long as dad stayed in his site}...It was a workout for dad carrying the saw, tree, & Carter down out of the deep snow :)We didn't want to get a tree too early knowing Tenley would be a handful trying to keep her away from it daily...The kids had fun hanging the ornaments on the tree! I love doing a real tree & letting the kids do their own thing with it {we will have many years of older kids & "nicer" trees later in life, mine as well let the kids enjoy it while they care to} It was one of the funnest things for the kids to do & Carter was so excited when we told him he could do whatever he wanted with it!! He loved plugging the Christmas lights in every night, & having the tree light up the front room!
I didn't end up taking a final photo because Tenley is a little too energetic to say the least, but it ended up being just the right size & the kids did a great job & only 2 or 3 ornaments got broken between the first of Dec & Christmas :)!
