Because Edward already has one of those stupid ties with the Santa Clauses on it.

Here we are last Sunday, totally bumming in mismatched clothes, watching the big boys put up our exterior Christmas lights.

Beau is a BIG* help to daddy.

*until he goes up to the water spout outside and turns it on all over his pants and new shoes.

Fast forward a week...We hit our favorite tree farm today to cut down a Christmas tree. They had no pines over 5 ft. tall. :-( The only other kind they had was the weird cypress kind. I don't like those! So weird to hang an ornament on. Hopefully the pines will be tall enough next year. We did enjoy a really fun hayride at the farm, however.

Henry LOVED the bumpy hayride! He giggled through 3/4ths of it. Oh, and check out those chompers!!

No caption needed.

I have three boys.

Costco. I love Costco. They have everything. Milk, bread, pizza for lunch. And pre-cut frasier firs.

Tree hugger.

Dad hugger. Actually, Beau insisted on laying on Edward's back during the entire time that Edward was trying to situate the tree in the stand.

Beau is on the reindeer lookout.

It is not possible for him to love these lights any more than he already does.

Ever love Christmas lights so much that you just have to wear them?

Wear them AND sing a song with them/about them?

This is where he went when we told him it was time for a nap.

As if the day was not exciting enough, we bundled up and went to the Christmas parade. Aren't they a cute little bundle? Beau had his first hot chocolate!

Henry even loved all of the lights and music.



Here is a fun little video of Beau saying, "I Love You, Christmas Tree!".
