one of my favorite days...



each one of us look forward with eager anticipation every year the day we "do" the christmas tree. today was that day!

the super duper excitement was a bit subdued this morning as we had to stop in for our flu shots. but...that went without a hitch! oh, the bravery! (and bribery...chick-fil-a and the tree were to follow).

we donned snow suits (it was quite chilly) and headed to a fun little tree lot near smyrna for the perfect tree, some cocoa, and hayride.


after letting "green apple" (that's what Brax named her) get a bit settled in her new home- we decorated and sang and even danced a few jigs. this crew was soooo fired up!


as usual we ended the day with "The Polar Express".

i love this time of year!

oh, and one more thing- Briley surprised us all with an invitation to a tea party in her bedroom this afternoon. she's getting ready for the birthday one she has coming up next week:) it was so sweet.

Was that Country Cove (?) Christmas Tree Farm? We went there last year ... I think we timed it wrong as it was slim-pick'ns by the time we got there...

We live in M'boro ... it'll be great to watch your guys' journey.

Yeah, that was the farm ... small world.

CONGRATS on finalizing everything ... I know how big of a release it was for us ... such an "accomplishment" to get on the list ... it appears God has taken you on a surreal journey thus far. Who is your guys' agency? What's their waitlist timeline?
