We finally got around to getting our Christmas tree this year. I just couldn't bare looking at our old deformed fake tree one more year so decided to give the real tree Christmas feel to our house. Cameron was all psyched up to chop down a tree but it actually was a quick trip(honestly about 15 minutes) to pick one out.
The boys had more fun finding twine and sticks. We pretty much picked the second tree we found and loaded it in the trailer. So it wasn't quite what I pictured in my head about getting the boys all bundled up, taking a wagon ride into the woods, spotting just the right tree, having Cameron help Tor shop it down while I captured the kodak moment and then sipping some hot coco when we returned. But hey, lunch and nap time were fast approaching and the fields were a muddy mess. So the one laying on the ground was the one...HA!
Cameron was so excited to help put it up and I was curious as to how long his attention span would endure and he actually made it through the whole thing with me! It was honestly the BEST time I have had in a long time. Haiden was napping(maybe next year little man can help but for now he little patties are best not touching the ornaments!) so it was just my big boy and me. After finding some gloves to wear to put the lights up ;) Cameron was in charge of putting on the ornaments and I can say that this tree is my most favorite that I have ever put up. I LOVE the color lights. Before it was only red or maybe red and white but for some reason I felt the need to do fun color for the boys this year!

Checking out the assortment. I have an ornament for each boy for each Christmas so far so it was neat to tell Cameron about each one. Of course I got teary eyed when I pulled out his 1st Christmas one that was his hand print in clay!
I could not put the hooks on fast enough for him to hang them. There is no rhyme or reason to where the ornaments are and they only go up as high(except for a few I was able to put on) as he could reach.
I absolutely love how it turned out.
And I love that I got to accomplish something fun with my son, get excited with him and allow his childish anticipation for the season to fill my heart with joy.
