O Christmas Tree!

Last weekend we took Sydney to get her first Christmas tree.  It's funny how some years we get our tree and are wearing short sleeves.  This year, though, it was pretty cold and we actually got our first snow of the year...and Sydney's first snow ever!  The man that helped us at the Christmas tree place even looked like Santa.  We didn't spend a long time choosing a tree since it was so chilly, but we ended up with a pretty good one.

With our tree...picture taken by Santa! :)

Guys, I can't stand this hat!

Watching the snow fall.  It was pretty, but didn't last long.

We got the tree home without a hitch and started decorating.  While we took a break (mostly because nothing is easily done with a three month old) the tree suddenly came crashing down...I guess to make Sydney's first Christmas tree experience a memorable one.  I couldn't help but snap a picture so she can laugh at it one day.  The weird part was that Sophie was laying by the tree and got up just before it fell.  Also, when the ornaments shattered because it hit our coffee table, glass went flying.  Oddly enough, there were splinters of ornaments everywhere but they miraculously missed hitting Sydney, who was sitting with me on the couch.  A Christmas miracle?

TIMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!



 We did end up finishing the decorating.  Here is a picture of the completed tree:

Finally...up and decorated!
