The Tree

We ventured out to our favorite Christmas tree farm and enjoyed a cold, but super sunny day that included a really nice hay ride:

Zachary really pushed the cart with our tree on it! I love that he assumes he's grown & capable.

Allie got into the tree decorating big time. She was very specific about where she wanted her ornaments. If I suggested a different limb, she'd say, "no, no!" and nod her cute little head. She'd also say, "Daddy, holp me!" (yes, that's "help me" in Allie talk) when her ornament wouldn't stay in place. She loved it! I have a feeling she'll be "redecorating" the bottom third of the tree many times between now & Christmas.

Zachary enjoyed himself too. Most of his ornaments were all in one section. He & I had such a busy day working on several different projects (pictures coming soon). I really enjoy having him along to help and he loves it. My favorite thing is when he says, "Mommy, thank you for helping me today." He assumes the projects are his and I'm just along to help out. I love it!
