On Saturday we made our annual trip to Cosley Zoo's Festival of Lights to select our Christmas tree. The weather was nearly 50 degrees and dry so that was a fantastic start to our day. We found the perfect tree very quickly. It was another one of our "usuals" : an 8-foot Fraser fir.
Once we got the tree safely home (and that wasn't a given thanks to a somewhat iffy tie down job), Jason was able to break out the chain saw to trim the trunk and bottom limbs. Check out those beautiful lights behind him! We were very thankful that he put those up a few weeks ago. They were on for the first time when we got home with the tree!
Sunday was the official Christmas tree decorating. Will is still of the age where he thinks certain chores are fun. I was happy to have someone to clean up the stray needles.
And, finally the finished product! Another bright and beautiful tree! This year's tree has nearly 1,000 lights thanks to Ryan's handiwork. We had such a fun time putting the ornaments on this year and talking with Will about where we got them. He and I each had our new Disney ornaments to add!
