For weeks Ammon has been asking to go to the tree place that has hot apple cider, candy canes and cookies that they get after we've picked out our tree. They look forward to the hunt of finding the perfect tree.
Once we found our tree (which was the 1st one we looked at, but walked away from to look at another dozen trees), Simeon was a great helper helping to cut down the tree. Corrine and Ammon were tree catchers, and Rebecca was trying to stop the wind from getting on her face.
When we got home Ammon could hardly wait to get it decorated. He had ornaments on the bottom before we even had the lights on the top. The kids were very careful to put Rebecca safe decorations on the lower branches to help keep her safe.
Rebecca was asleep when we decorated the tree. When she woke up she was still sleepy and whining. When we brought her out to see the tree the 1st time lit up, she stopped crying and just stared at it in fascination. She didn't want to touch it, or grab any decorations. I'm sure that will change in the next few weeks.

How fun! I want to get a real tree next year. I was hoping to do it this year but the convienence of our fake one won out this time. Connor loves to look at our Christmas lights too. It's so fun to have a baby at Christmas!
