Day 4

Our advent activity today was to find the perfect Christmas tree.

We headed to a local tree farm,

where we looked and looked.

Beckett helped us find the perfect tree!

We found our tree!

Nana and Her Boys

The neighbor came over to help Daddy move the tree inside.  Even after cutting some branches off the bottom, it did not fit.

Daddy was VERY patient with the whole ordeal.

After taking a bit more off the bottom,

it fit!

This evening we decorated the tree.

The boys did the majority of it!

Even Marshall got to help!
