Putting up the Christmas Tree!






We headed off to Menards on a cold Tuesday night to pick out our Christmas Tree! Hopefully one day, we'll make the trek out to an actual Christmas Tree Farm like Adam and I have done once or twice when we were first married, but for now, Menards gave us just as fun of an experience! Jasper was very involved in picking out the tree telling us 'whoa that's a big one' or pushing the cart near us so we could load up the tree.

After we got home, Daddy cut off a portion of the stump and got it all ready for the decorating to begin. We put on the lights, decorations, and completed it with a star on top.

Another special decoration to us this year is a ceramic Santa, painted by Great Grandma Bev. It plays "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and Jasper likes to twist it up so the music plays.

The bottom picture is the "pre-decorated tree" where Jasper was holding up his star decoration that he made at the Festival of Trees.
