2010 tree hunting

The same day that we got the new bunk bed, we went to a tree farm and got our Christmas tree! We weren't thinking that we would do it before our drive to Kearney so we weren't dressed warm enough. We regretted that b/c the wind was so cold! But that helped us to choose quicker =) They are huddled in front of the tree out of the way of the wind.


This is the first year we've had the trailer. It was so convenient. We were unaware that the twine that they had tied the tree down with broke off but the tree was fine nonetheless!


A llama and two donkeys. Noah wouldn't come near but Evie did. That llama was a little freaky. I kept thinking he was going to spit at me so I can understand Noah's trepidation.


Inside the barn we visited with Connie who raises Irish Wolfhounds, which, as you can see, are simply huge! Again, Noah was afraid but Evie eventually ventured a little closer.


When we got home, Terry started putting lights on the house, which we've never ever done before.


It's mommy's job to put lights on the tree. A little more difficult with an 8 month baby belly on my lap...


Evie helped with the ornaments a little but mostly handed us the ones she wanted on. There's the belly again. Haha


Noah put all his under the tree and has been moving them around ever since


I love this season. I just sat on the couch last night and admired the tree in the dark.


And here are our simple lights. I like simple, not flashy.
