for the first time in 20 years i have real christmas tree. i've had lights on a ficus, but i've never bothered to go to the lot and get a tree. this year, we decided that evie would really enjoy getting a tree, and we were right.

we started by getting bundled up for the trip to the tree lot.



once there evie helped pick out the tree. she started by wanting a small "evie sized" tree, but mike had found one that was about five feet tall he liked, so i convinced her to change her pick by telling her a bigger tree could fit bigger presents. she was quick to agree to the tree daddy liked.



the next morning her friend marlon came over with his mom for pancakes, bacon and tree decorating.



it's starting to feel a lot like christmas.
