The kiddos and I trekked out in surprisingly frigid December temps to pick up this year's tree. Everett was over the moon excited and literally did not stop talking, bouncing or running for the rest of the afternoon. This kid is way way excited about all things Christmas. He can't get over the lights in other people's yards or the fact that we have our very own Christmas tree IN THE HOUSE. Oh, to be three again!
Juliana and her Papa, who is of course sporting Alabama gear. Heaven help me if the Crimson Tide doesn't win on Saturday.
That blur in the picture above? Yep, that's Everett, who has decided that running among Christmas trees is now one of his favorite things to do in December.
She walks! My little late bloomer really can and does walk, folks. A Christmas miracle indeed!
There were even snow flurries falling while we were scoping out the tree selection. Hence, Juliana's ruddy cheeks and red nose. She was not nearly as thrilled to be outside amongst the Christmas trees as was her brother.
And if that look doesn't say "Seriously, Mom, I'm not amused" I don't know what does.
It was a fun little excursion and the first time Everett has been really aware of what we were doing. He's now at a fun age where he's really understanding things. When we told him we were going to get a Christmas tree he said, "That will be wonderful!" And all afternoon he kept telling us how beautiful everything looked. Huh? Who are you and what did you do to my little boy?
Ah, here we go! Everett's quintessential face. This is the face he gives me nine times out of ten when I ask him to smile. The squinty eyes definitely come from me.
Once the perfect tree was picked and we were ready to get out of the cold, both Papa and the worker man had a follower as they took the tree to the car.
But like most three year olds, he's easily distracted...
Tomorrow might be spent dispelling any notion that we'll be bringing a horse into the house as part of our Christmas decorations!

fun!! i love shopping for christmas trees. less when it's frigid, but what can you do? i love that everett is so excited! andersen is just learning who santa is. we've been working on it, but a few weeks ago, he'd see a picture of santa, and you'd ask him who he was. his answer was always, "that's christmas!" right. like i said. we've been working on it. :) merry christmas!
When I called yesterday the first thing Everett said on the phone is "paulyla-cwismas twee in da house!" It made me laugh. Can't wait to see how it has been decorated.
I loved your pictures and captions, especially the super Everett grin. What a cutie!
They are so darn cute! Christmas tree shopping is so much fun! So what is Becca's last name. Tracie (lee) Morris was asking about her. She said hey to you too!!!!
