O Christmas Tree

Sorry for the lack of blogs recently. I will have to make it one of my new year resolutions to blog more frequently. I'm sure people may have missed Eve's cute face. So anyway, two weeks ago we went out and got our first "real" tree, meaning not an artificial one. Since we are spending Christmas here is Kansas, Tyler thought and was right, that it would help my holiday spirit. So we drove over an hour to the tree farm, all of us in a non-extended cab pick-up to cut down our perfect tree. The weather was so nice that day and Eve enjoyed running throughout the trees. So Tyler cut down our tree and we drove home and enjoyed dinner at Braums on the way back. In case you have never heard of Braums (I didn't until I lived here), its a fast food place that makes hard ice cream and milkshakes. So on the drive home we enjoyed some ice cream and Christmas music.

Later, Eve and I tackled the job of putting the lights on the tree. She enjoyed playing with the board with the lights wrapped on it. The pics just turned out so neat of her with the lights. I actually don't have a picture of our finished tree. We actually don't have any ornaments on the tree because we knew that Eve would spend all her time playing with them. We used some ribbon on the tree and it does still look good.
