We picked up our Christmas tree early this year. We just had to do it before Eric went back to college after Thanksgiving Break. We have certain traditions when we go get a tree. It usually goes like this: We get out of the car and whoosh----- the boys are all gone, chasing each other, playing hide and seek in the "forest" of Christmas trees. We wouldn't see them again until we are ready to leave, except for the occasional whoosh of one of them running by us, saying "shhhhh don't tell them I am here!"
But, now look at how things have changed! See those calm cool expressions?
This is about all the boys did the entire time as I wandered around with Steve to pick out our tree.
They were absolutely boring. They just sat around the fire chatting with each other, like regular old grown up people. Even Michael and Jacob followed the big brothers along just relaxing... by the fire, petting the doggy that came wandering by. It was so calm that I was disgusted.
What has gotten into you boys? Where is the excitement and the wild game of hide and seek?
Ahhh yes... let's pet the doggy. So calm! Bleh! So well behaved! Shock!
Scott did enjoy checking out the reindeer.
And with some coaxing on my part, Michael, Jacob and Scott attempted a very weak try at hide and seek..It lasted about one minute flat.
Oh well! We had a wonderful time... took our tree home that we agreed (like we do every year) was the most beautiful yet. Put it up and then went out to dinner. Decorating came the next day.
