It's Beginning to look alot like Christmas

So we at the Schelling home decided to cut down our own Christmas tree this year, we went to Hart Tree Farm in Rockford and I highly recommend it we really did not see one bad tree. As you can see the boys were just so excited they couldn't contain themselves!




Noah wanted to get this Charlie Brown Christmas tree though





So after about five minutes and the wind wipping us so hard and Noah saying "how bout that one to every tree we walked past", we picked a tree, Daddy told him that he could help him cut it down so here goes nothing!




As you can kindof see Noah is trying to help Joe carry it, that did not last long though.

Well after Joe's fingers about fell off trying to tie the tree to the roof of the van(b/c of the cold) we headed home to set the tree up and decorate it. We had to stop and get some hot chocolate at Noah's request first though. So after the boys decided it was more fun to play with all the ornaments the actually put them on the tree, Joe and I finished it, and we even put up the stockings - not bad for mister Scrooge himself huh?


Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night! From the Schellings

that doesn't look like Joe...it can't be Joe...he would never do such a thing as cut down a tree, decorate it and hang stockings. I, for one, simply can't (or won't) believe it. Does he have kidney stones again and hopped up on pain meds??? Something is really wrong here...

At least the tree has branches this year...
