O Tannenbaum!!!

It's Christmastime!!! Yesterday we did one of my very favorite Christmas traditions, we got our Christmas Tree!!!! Our very first Christmas tree together!!! In the Anderson Family, we all go out to the wilderness (otherwise known as Arlington, WA) together and find the most perfect, beautiful tree out of all the contenders and cut it down to make it the Anderson Family Christmas Tree. It is quite an honor to be chosen and everyone always has a fun time being together and adding their input on which tree deserves that honor.

Do I spy a candy cane??

Word to the wise...keep a sharp eye on your candy cane when Gabriel is around!!

Mom finds her tree but, GASP, we forgot the words to the Anderson Family Christmas Tree Song. Dad was quick on his feet, literally, and made up a little dance we could do to appease the Christmas Tree Gods and ensure a green and fragrant tree all season long.

For Scott and I, the search c0ntinued a little deeper into the realms of Christmas Tree Land. We found the object of our desire and Scott quickly got to work cutting it down. Scott had a fun time cutting down his own Christmas tree for the very first time!!

Jason was full of the Christmas spirit as he helped us cut down our tree.

Victory is mine!!! Now that we have our tree, will get it home and decorate it beautifully!!!

The decorated tree. It's much more impressive in person, but I think it's just amazing!!! I love all my ornaments and I took pictures of some of my favorites...although there are too many to take pictures of all of my favorites...I guess that is what the full tree shot is for. :)

I love this glass angel, even though angels don't have wings...I still think it's beautiful. The lights make the angels' skirt glow and sparkle through the wings...oh how I love having a wonderfully decorated, amazingly fragrant Christmas tree in my house!!! It's the best part of the season!!!! Now it really feels like Christmas!!
