The Hamrick Family: Oh Christmas Tree!

We stopped and got our tree at our new as Emma would say, "Christmas Tree Farm." We went to a local nursery right by the house and he had the most beautiful and fresh trees I have ever seen. We were excited to get a bigger tree this year because of the extra space. We brought in the tree after unpacking and starting some laundry on our way home from Raleigh. Barely a needle fell off of that tree after Bo brought it in. The girls were super excited and into the decorating this year. They were so anxious to decorate while Bo and I dealt with the lights and ribbon. While waiting I put on the movie "Elf" and they loved it. (Another one they love right now is Home Alone!)

It took us about two and a half hours to finish the tree. We only broke one ornament since we are not used to the hardwood floors! The girls loved seeing some of me and Bo's old ornaments and they wanted to know all about their First Christmas ornaments. We saw our crib ornament from our first pregnancy, which always makes me think of how old that baby would be now. When seeing the ornaments of Lilly I was just so grateful that she survived the accident and is with us for another Christmas.

The tree is beautiful - certainly BIG! We had to move a chair completely out of the room. Everything is decorated since we did that earlier so now it officially feels like Christmas!
