Liam's tree

This past weekend, we joined the Nichols again for our annual trek to the Middleburg Christmas Tree Farm. It was a frigid day, and we were all bundled up. Liam had fun walking around the trees and piggy-backing on his Dada. Together they found one poor Charlie Brown tree before we found the tree that would be coming home with us. Liam was fascinated with the saw and enjoyed watching Geoff cut the tree down.

On our way home, we got trapped by the Middleburg Christmas Parade and Fox Hunt Regalia, so we had to take detours. What normally takes 30-40 minutes to get home took us well over an hour. (We chalked it up to the Griswold Christmas Tree curse and expect a squirrel to come out of our tree anytime now.)

The next day, we put up the tree, and Liam attempted to help us decorate it. He thought the ornaments just stuck themselves on the tree and didn't quite understand the loops and hooks (see next to last photo). That, along with his joy at hearing the jingle bells, was absolutely precious! We love his fascination with all the Christmas decor in our house, and we cannot wait to take him to see Santa this coming weekend! Pictures will be posted, so check back!
