We love going to pick out our tree at a local farm. They don't grow the trees but they have a grower from NC come in and sell his trees there. It takes us forever to agree on one. This year we were delayed a bit by a family with a new baby getting their picture taken in the trees...we were okay with that!
We usually rush home and start decorating as fast as possible. I loved decorating the tree. We have ornaments from when we were kids, from our grandparents' and parents' trees as well as all the kids ornaments. Declan loves to designate part of the tree his and hang all of his ornaments in one space.
We try to get the kids an ornament (at least one, they usually end up with more somehow) for the year. Declan's was full of gold Lego, very rare! Terefech got a Melkam Gena 2012 ornament (Merry Christmas in Amharic). We also got her one this year that said first christmas together 2010. It took a couple of explanations for her to understand I didn't have my act together back then. Better late than never.
Merry Christmas!
