Ok, so not yet, but Adam and I actually had a rare free weekend this past weekend and we were able to finally spend some time getting Christmas-y.
I was super excited, because we found a place near us that was offering Santa Paws pictures- pictures with the animals and Santa to raise money for the humane society. I was super excited, and spent Saturday morning giving Annabelle a bath and picking her our a festive outfit.
We met Dion and Evan at the place and Annabelle was so excited- she was running around to everyone and it was so cute. Our picture turned out really great, and we paid for the copyright too, which means we will be able to get them printed and made into Christmas cards! Once the picture is emailed to me I'll post it up.
After our exciting morning with Santa, we headed out all the way to Lawrence to get our first ever live Christmas tree! I've always wanted one, so Adam and I decided this year to start our own tradition of going to get one. Since we've never done this before, we were a bit out of the loop when we got there and of course the selection was basically gone because it's only a couple weeks before Christmas, but we still had fun!
Baby Christmas Trees!
At first we got stuck in the pre-cut sections- we were already so confused!
Finally after walking through the nearly empty field, we came across this little guy.
Looking at it now I realize that it has alot of gaps in it. And it rather scrawny looking. But at the time it looked really perfect!
Dont let him fool you, he didnt cut it down. I wanted to cut it down, but NO, Adam didnt want to!
It fit in the car!
Pit Stop! Haha, yes, I made him pull off of the interstate specifically for me to take a picture with the Jayhawk bird. You know you are jealous.
Wrestling the tree
I enjoy our new tradition!!!
