{Operation} Christmas Tree

Just like every year, we packed up the littles and went on a journey to find the "perfect" tree!

(...well, if this was Ross's story, he would change "perfect" to "BIGGEST")

The entire way we got the littles all excited about "going on a tree hunt!"

Harper could not contain her excitement.
She walked around like this for the first 10 minutes, pausing every few steps to point and yell "tweee!"

The Girl most definitely has her Mama's love for Christmas in her!
Well, she calls it "Kwissy!"

Off she went, searching for the perfect "twee!"

As soon as I rounded one corner to catch up with her, she would round another...

Then there was the Boy.

He took "Operation Christmas Tree" very, VERY seriously.

Walking down each row,

inspecting each tree.

...but he just wasn't moving fast enough for Harper...

So, in true Harper fashion, she decided to take matters into her own hands:

And then we took a break from "Operation Christmas Tree"

 and laughed...

...and laughed...

and laughed.

I felt a tear of pure happiness roll down my cheek between me and the camera.

Then the voice in my head reminded me:

These are the moments.

Stop.

Enjoy them.

 Remember them like they are in this moment.
Forever.

Then it happened.

The littles spotted the BIGGEST "twee" EVER...

Before I knew it,

Ross had it (the massive tree) tied down on the top of my car!

The second we pulled into the driveway,

Ross was cutting the limbs and the base of the tree!

(gotta love a man with his tools!)

And inside it went.

Lots of lights, ornaments and ting ting now cover the three that is surrounded by presents!

...But you will have to wait to see the "finished product" another day!

Operation Christmas Tree = SUCCESS!
