The first thing we did on our Arizona vacation was to go and pick out a REAL tree! I love having the tradition of having a real tree. They smell so pretty and look so pretty and spending time with the family to look for the perfect tree is so much fun. Last year we couldn't do this, so I was excited to get the tree with my parents and two sisters since we would be spending Christmas with them. We all had fun walking through the forest of trees and each begging to have the one we liked to be picked. After the tree got a fresh cut, the kids grabbed a bunch of boughs so that they could play and make wreaths with them. (They did make some cute wreaths later in the week with their Aunt Selena, but I forgot to take pictures.) Then it was decorating time. I love how kids decorate the tree...all the ornaments at their height in all the same place! It was absolutely beautiful!
