Tree Pickin'

The day we planned to get our tree we had an early snow storm which made everything so beautiful and feel Christmasy. During the day Matt took the boys on a snow hike. Later we went to Five Guys, dropped some packages off at the Marine Museum, and headed to Home Depot to pick a tree. While it is not the most picturesque place to purchase a tree, they have good prices and it is close to home so it works for us. One of these years we'll get out and cut our own somewhere.

This is one day of opening the advent box. There were plenty of useless plastic objects this year. Some favorites were the snowglobe (which only lasted two days until Cameron broke it), jingles bells (who knew they could have so much fun spinning them?), and of course they loved it when they got chocolates.
