the tree

These are a little out of order, but that's ok. Joey wanted purple lights added to his pink lights from last year. This is going to be an interesting year, we'll see if this tree has a chance, between a 3 1/2 year old, an 8 month old, and 2 golden retrievers!
umm..it was a little big. I don't think it is as big as the Skubic's tree..but pretty close. We had to clip about 12 inches off the top, and Derek was "trimming the tree" in the most literal sense.





To flash back..Saturday we went out to my parents and hunted out the perfect Christmas tree. I think Joey had more fun riding in the sled.






Saturday night it was a trip to Bentleyville with my parents and the Skubic gang.





It was definitely worth the drive and the cold. Especially when we got to go to Old Chicago after for pizza!





yea for marshmallows!

Awesome tree, Joey! Just perfect with the purple and pink lights. Grandpa and Grandma had a great time with you at Bentleyville! But Audrey's nose got a little cold! Love Grandma B

Sweet tree guys! Maybe we should have taken a little off the top too. Thanks for a super fun end to the weekend - next year we'll have to bring Gramma and Papa T. along too.

See you SOONsies!
