Playing Catch up Part II–The Tree (and maybe some lacrosse)
Due to various social commitments, holiday parties, Bears games and one 4-year-old’s rocking birthday party, we were unable to get our Christmas tree until the 11th of December (gasp!) But, we reasoned, that is perfectly acceptable for a live tree, right?! You don’t want it to get too dry…and it will still look pretty for all the company coming for Christmas! We headed over to our favorite boy scout’s lot after the older boys had lacrosse one Sunday afternoon.
speaking of lacrosse, I’ll take a moment to share these (so cute) pics Brian took that day:
Ok then…back to the tree!
Here we are at the lot…coat-optional in this unseasonably warm winter
Decorating and fun shots of the ornaments
Brady’s only wish was to be the one who put the star on. I don’t know where he heard it, but he insisted that, being the littlest in the family meant HE got to put the star up. Well…as you can see from this picture, that just wasn’t going to happen in a safe manner. I ended up climbing on a chair to reach the top
Here’s a picture of the tree during the day with all of “my” gifts under it (aka: before the family arrived and the sheer number of presents exploded like a happy Christmas bomb!)
About Me
- Renay
- Stories about BRLAB: Brian & Renay, two relatively sane parents, and our three adorable, but active boys: Logan - 9, Aiden - 7 and Brady - 6. I started this blog to document our adventures and milestones for those family members who are far away and can't always share the fun in person. This blog has become my way to keep track of everything in the lives of my growing boys - from the super big stuff that seems the most important to the small things that probably really ARE the most important. I always include tons of pictures because I plan to make a book out of the blog on a yearly basis. Time flies by so fast, I can only hope that these posts will help us remember all the wonderful and silly times we have together as a family.
