Our tree

While I was shopping on Friday, Woody & the girls set-up the Christmas tree! They had SO much fun & were wonderful little helpers:) Sorry these pictures aren't in order, but you get the idea...

Tada!


Everything was color coded, so it was fun for the girls to help separate the tree & then help put it together!

Here's what it looks like now, all decorated! It's very pretty, but part of me is still sad that we didn't get a real tree:( It's a tradition that goes back to when I was a kid. For as long as I can remember, my dad & I (sometimes my mom...she ususally said it was too cold & she would just stay home & get out the decorations!) would go to a tree farm & spend hours - depending on the weather - walking around & looking at trees & trying to find the perfect one! In fact, nine years ago today, Woody, my dad & I went to cut down a tree (my mom was at class that day) & afterwards, Woody took me to Red Wing & proposed to me:)

Nine years! Wow - I can't believe how fast time goes.
I think it was one of your first date when Woody discovered you color coordinated your closet and he knew he was in love!
