Getting ready for a morning of tree hunting
I found one!
Need my help Daddy?
You sure you did not need my help?
Who are these guys then?
I'll just wait here...
Are we done yet?
This is what I found after waking up from my nap!
I loved helping hang ornaments...or trying to hang them!
-Yesterday we made the annual trip to the Millbrook Tree Farm. It was a beautiful day and the farm was packed! We quickly found the tree....but it had a big trunk and was more difficult to cut down than usual. It did not help that Josh had pulled a neck muscle before we left. So....we recruited some help. It took 3 guys to get that tree down! It was a 10 ft tree...but we cut it down to about 8.5 by the time it was all said and done. Brooks really enjoyed singing songs (he fills in the words to Jingle Bells) and the dogs loved getting out of the house.
-Today we finished decorating the tree, putting out decorations, and getting the train track together. Brooks got a big surprise after coming downstairs from his nap. A TRAIN! He played with the train all evening long! I just love his time of the year!
-On a side note....we started the Elf on the Shelf tradition this year. Brooks likes to search the house in the morning for him. We keep telling him he needs to be good because the Elf will report back to Santa if he has been bad. So...if he does something bad we say, "Elf, Brooks just hit BruBru and that is bad." Brooks is such a stinker....he now will do something he is not supposed to do and then look at us and say, "Elf...no no". Oh well.....it was worth a try!
