Blog | Christmas Tree
Today we walked to the farm across the street from our neighborhood to get our Christmas tree. Ever since we moved into this house, we have walked across the street, picked out our tree, and carried it back to the house. Well, because we have a very active toddler, and because the street separating our neighborhood from the farm is pretty busy, we opted to walk there and have the tree delivered.
She started out interested (as you can see by the above pictures ), but then, as we got closer to the playground, Brianna wasn’t too sure she wanted a Christmas tree. No Christmas tree (“mishmus me”) was practically the anthem as we walked to the farm, particularly once walked PAST the playground. She was NOT really interested in trading playground time for Christmas tree shopping. Hence the looks in these pictures…
But, once we got there, she wanted more Christmas tree (we got the one right behind Jenn)!
And Santa Claus was there! She was very interested in “sinta cus”, but only from a distance. It took quite a lot of convincing to get even this close.
Now the fake, painted wooden Santa…that one she loved!
While proclaiming over all of the wonders of this “preferred” Santa (complete with hugs and kisses), we met Sara. I believe she is the farmers’ daughter, and she had this wonderful toy puppy that fascinated Brianna. Sara was very sweet, and even let Brianna play with the puppy several times.
She may have been hesitant at first, but she spent the rest of the day talking about the Christmas tree, and the puppy, and of course, Santa Claus!
