For those of you that are in the know, you might recall that every year on the first Saturday of December we go to Butler's Orchard in Germantown, MD to cut down our Christmas Tree. Auntie Michelle goes with us too. Although it did not snow like it did last year, it was still very cold and we had lots of fun! Last year Uncle James went with us so we missed him this year. However, Mommy's friends Eric and Ashley joined us this year and hopefully this is the start of a holiday tradition for them as well. Cutting our tree down at Butler's wouldn't be complete without Tyler our tree guy. Every year Tyler shakes out all the dead needles, trims the trunk, and ties the tree to the roof of our car for a safe trip home to Alexandria. Tyler is really cool... he even gave me pointers for whenever I'm old enough to be a tree guy :-). I mean this is serious business folks, we cross state lines in order to get the perfect tree every year. Oh and of course Mommy will tell you that the Christmas tree weekend would not be complete without a trip to the pediatrician. That's right folks, I'm allergic! Last year Mommy threatened no more real trees but Daddy said it was a fluke. Well, well, well, It's official I'm allergic to Douglas fur Christmas trees. So as sad as it might be, we may need to start a new tradition of picking out a fake trees :-(. However, there is no time like the present and now it is time to grab a cup of cider or hot chocolate (pick your poison), light up the fire place and relax under the glistening lights of the beautiful Christmas tree.
On a side note, Hadley and I are working on being very good this year so that Santa will come. Seamore is a little elf that lives on a shelf in our home. Mommy and Daddy said that he leaves every night to tell Santa how we are doing and then returns in the morning. I've been on my best behavior so that Santa will come down the chimney on Christmas eve.
Hadley and I would like to say Happy Holidays and we'll be back soon!
Love,
Emerson and Hadley
Auntie bought me the best cookie ever!
"Uh Oh, Rudolph isn't the only one with a red nose this holiday season"
"Daddy, here let me show you how it's done"
"Dog pile!!!!"
"And a 1, and a 2, and a 3.... I'll blow this tree down"
"Dear Lord, Baby Jesus in the manager.... you're so tiny and small"
"So Auntie, now that we cut down our trees.... what about that one?"
"Come on people, let's get the show on the road"
"Tree shaking at it's finest"
"Yea, I'm in with Tyler (our tree guy)... he's sharing all of his trade secrets"
"Choo Choo!!!"
"Auntie, what are you waiting for, get in"
"Mommy spends way too much money in this little red barn"
"a true sign of a great day :)"
