Christmas Tree Shopping and First Snow!



Last Saturday, we went Christmas tree shopping with our friends Marc and Cathleen. This was the first Christmas trees for both Liam and Marc, so it was definitely a special occasion! M & C found their perfect tree (which Marc cut down like a pro):






Liam ogling their find:



But we, on the other hand, didn't find our winning tree until back in KoP at the same old lot we always go to. So much for trying something new! Here's Daddy getting it indoors to dry out from the rain:



Before we knew it, though, the rain turned to snow. Our first snowfall of the season, and Liam's first snow ever! (Ok, so we had a snowstorm like a week after he was born, but we hid indoors until it melted, so that doesn't count.) I took him outside to check it out, and he was in awe. The snowfall didn't amount to much, but it was really pretty for the next day or so!



Later that night, we lit and decorated our tree. Drum roll please...



Knock on wood, but so far Liam hasn't terrorized it much! We made sure to put the non-breakable ornaments towards the bottom, though, just in case :)

Off to Chicago in the morning for a long weekend with Daddy's family and some of our closest friends. It's supposed to be crazy cold, but we're excited anyway!
