On saturday, we loaded up bright and early to the much anticipated Christmas Tree Farm (it was 45 degrees when we left home.... I was the ONLY one who would wear a coat)
santa welcomed us with a sign and Mrs. Claus told us to relax "thank you Mrs. Claus, i needed that reminder because it is a mere 70 degrees NOW and i am wearing a coat and scarf and toted one sometimes TWO babies all over this MOUNTAINOUS terrain you have here, so give me time (and a shot of tequila!) i am working on the "relaxing" part but enjoying watching my boys run wild"
Let me first say we loved our tractor ride and second mention that farmer joe here driving has forgotten what its like to have a toddler in tow, we stopped at each fellow tree farm goer to speak to them (and let me say also that farmer joe KNEW everyone) and each time we stopped my lil' hornet wanted to bail out very badly....or jump ship over the side..... but we made it and were glad to take the ride!!
the boys raced to most every landmark on the farm? i don't ask i just love to listen to the laughter that it brings from all participating!
You don't have to guess what my middle angel's favorite part was, do you? sure we called it a HE'ES, (that is horse, hese i guess would be a better spelling?) i feel for sure he would have tried to get in and ride them if we allowed.... it was something beautiful watching his little eyes light up at the sight-
more racing, keeping themselves busy with a little made up game while daddyC talked trees with a "treeman"
and after finalizing our tree we had to haul it back up the hill, well, some of us (me and daddyC) the rest of our crew got a free ride!
the morning spent at the tree farm wore our little christmas elves out.....
for some reason, when my boys hit home, their shoes come off!
we had a LOT of little 'Helpers" to decorate the tree once we got it in and unbound....
i think the ladder was the coolest part!
i don't love the tree i gotta admit, i don't know why....should i remove the trailing ribbon? let it trail at an angle? add more lights? I will have to think about it but probably let it go for this year seeing how the ornaments were hung by a four year old and in little clusters, i don't think the ribbon does much anyway!!!
monkeys favorite thing is the village, he loves it (what is left of it, that his middle baby brother has not broken into), so thanks big daddy for going to get us some tables and then delivering and setting them up for us-
these moss presents look better in person..... i hope! so we are getting somewhere with the decor slowly but surely..... Come Monday we shall have mailbox, door, lamp post and interior wreaths hung by wide red ribbon? i will may post pictures. Merry EVERYTHING! Happy ALWAYS!
Oh and if you have lost your christmas spirit watch a Christmas movie with a 4 year old- I am so excited for him! we get to see the big guy again tonight at a lighting event! Although; Charlie ask me this morning "mom, is the santa tonight going to be REAL?" Not knowing what to say i just flowed with "yes!" and changed the subject as quick as i could..... he is quite the question guy so i was surprised at how well that ended. Another way to brighten your mood is to go to church and watch the 4 year olds sing..... HYSTERICAL!!!!
