Christmas Preparations

The last few years we have had a fake Christmas tree, but decided this would be a good year to go cut down a real one, with no dog, Timmy understanding to leave it alone, and Tyler not crawling yet (though he is rolling like crazy, and has made his way under the tree a few times, and pulled ornaments off!)  Jenny was planning to cut down a tree too, so we made an afternoon of it and went to a nearby farm that we had cut trees at before.

We found a beautiful tree and Timmy 'helped' Tim cut it down.

The farm also had some animals, including a Pony, that Timmy stated he wanted to ride the moment he saw.  He was a little nervous when he first got on, but he enjoyed his ride and said he wanted to do it again.

Timmy helped me decorate and Tyler watched us intently.  Our tree is strategically decorated with breakable ornaments from about 4' up and non-breakable ornaments below that mark!  Tyler was allowed to check out one of the plastic bulbs for awhile, under Timmy's watchful eye, true to Tyler's nature it went straight into his mouth!

Look at those mischievous eyes!
