Christmas tree 2008

This past weekend my sunglass clad dudes and I headed out to get our Christmas tree.

We were going to go to a tree farm and get a "living tree" so we could plant in yard after the holiday's but teething has really messed up nap time so we opted to just go to Loews's and look at cut tree. Zack checked out the selection, but ended up loving a fake one with a ton of lights. Is even more environmentally friendly so we bought it. I have never had a fake tree but we live in a different world now and it is pre-lit! Huge time saver!

Zack showed some concern about the tree fitting in the back of the truck, but with little creativity it worked out.

Zack and dad put the tree together, but needed to take a little nap before the was up for ornament hanging.


So I started with the high, breakable ones. Then he and dad finished up with Zack friendly ones down low.



He really liked the snowmen...







and the dog-dog ones...













and the candy canes...

Especially once he figured out that they are eatable!








I really love how excited Zack gets every morning to say good morning to tree and turn on the lights. And again at night when he says good night and turns them off. This is a fun age!!
