Getting A Tree

We had time to go pick out a Christmas tree on Sunday. This happened to coincide with a little snow storm. Luckily we didn't have to travel far and Lucian took it easy and avoided the highway. Otherwise we would have been dealing with this.

We put on the kids' snow pants and picked out a lovely tree. It's narrow and cute and fits our space perfectly.

Claire was very excited to decorate, however, we had to wait a good part of the day for the tree to dry off from the snow. She asked to put on the star again this year.

Kyle mostly enjoyed taking off all of the ornaments or shaking them, as in this photo.

Claire is enjoying the snow. She likes to help shovel, so if I do it after she goes to bed, I save her a little patch. I hope that keeps up. Looks like there is more on the way today!
