it's a Christmas Tree!

We went to get our Christmas Tree this weekend.  Here are some shots of how things went down:

Ruby thought she'd wear Dada's boots for a change.
Nope.  Too big.  

Serious about finding the perfect tree. 

We thought we'd need help considering that tree stumps and saws were involved.... so Grandma and Grampy came along.

Grandma. 

Ryan and his catch.  

Squirming...... (there's Grampy running by.)

Having a snack in the van. 

Happy after eating kiwi.  

Ruby had a nap when we got home.  She actually fell asleep in the car on the way home.... so when she woke up and saw the tree in our living room.... well, this was her reaction:

Hands on the hips, "wow, a tree".

Naked (and crooked) tree.  We fixed it.  

 Much to my surprise, I managed to get the entire thing decorated in one evening, so when Ruby woke up this morning, this is what she saw:

Touching the "ba".

Fingers crossed that we don't have any major accidents in the coming weeks.
Now, I'm officially in the Christmas Spirit!   Bring on the Elvis!
