Audrey's First Christmas Tree

On Sunday, we went on our annual Christmas tree shopping trip. In the pre-baby days, we ventured out to a local farm to cut one down. However, this year, with the rain and cold and a 10 month old, we chose to visit a local plant nursery and make it much easier on ourselves.
Here are some photos for your viewing pleasure of the process of putting up the tree and trying to decorate it with a baby...thankfully, Audrey took a nap during the event so we were able to put on the ornaments during that nap.
Before Evan brought the tree into the house, Audrey was watching him get the tree off of the roof rack. Such fascinating things adults do.






How Audrey occupied her time while Evan put on the lights-

We are so excited about Audrey's first Christmas and first Hanukkah. Hanukkah begins at sundown on Sunday, Dec. 21st. We will be celebrating with Evan's dad's family on that Sunday. We will head out to Shreveport for Christmas on that Tuesday. We will be staying with my brother and his family so we will get to light the menorah at their house this year.
We can't wait to see Audrey on Christmas morning along with her 2 1/2 year old cousin, Nate. I am sure squealing, shredded paper, and soggy bows will abound.
