I was really excited to decorate for the holidays for some reason this year. Could be because we're in the midst of remodeling/decorating our house and I'm liking it SO much better than before or just that it's finally cold enough to feel like winter and the holidays! Either way, I couldn't wait! Last year, Kev, J&J and I got our trees at a cute little family owned place aout 15 minutes from home. They had a great selection, and although they were a bit pricier - they shook the excess needless off of it by putting it in a handy dandy machine-a-ma-bob. They also put it in a net so when you drag it into your house the branches and needles don't go everywhere. Worth the extra $$ in my book!!
Anyway, Julie and I decided to make it a tradition and this year we threw brunch into the mix!Kev and I headed over to their house Sunday morning and us gals cooked up a feast of egg and veggie scramble, sausage and pancakes. It had started to snow so it was absolutely gorgeous out! We finished up, got Eliza in her fleece snowsuit and headed to get our tree. It was less than warm out, so we picked fairly quickly. I believe we got a Frasier Fir, she's a beaut!! We got it on the car and were on our way. We had a great time, but I think next year - we'll make the boys cook while we sip spiked eggnog and gab :)
Enjoy the pictures and Happy Holidays!
