Christmas – 16 – Trim the tree (part 1)
Sunday morning we had a family outing .. .
First through Coffee Kiosk, and then with Julie to get the Christmas tree (!!)…. Daniel and Jenae came along too – but we brought Hazel and she wasn’t allowed in, so D&J took her for a walk.
I wanted this tree, but Andrew said no …
The tree lot was actually a little sad … Julie said it’s usually mostly high-school boys working there (carrying your tree for you, etc) … but this time there was a lot of … men. 30-40 year old men.
Vulturing.
We got asked 3 or 4 times if we needed help. Even after we had chosen and were waiting to pay for a tree…
My guess is because of the recession. And all these guys used to work in construction … and no one is building homes any more so the best work they can get is a Christmas tree lot .. .
… just a guess, though.
We actually ended up being helped by a nice (16 or 17 year old) boy …
If we were sending a Christmas card, I’d use this picture …
(not this one)
Got the tree home, Andre strung it with lights, and I made a paper chain before lunch….
(Katie and Joe came up from Orange County to spend the day w/ us too).
(Part 2 tomorrow)
I love the picture of hazel
she is so lazy
Okay I don’t know any of these people (except you of course), but I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy reading the blog and especially all the photos. Everyone always looks so happy. It’s very sweet.
Loved every pic!!
And the ‘Christmas photo’ of you and Andrew… the best!! Love the colors… the feel… you and Andrew are as cute as can be!
Love your work Amy!
Love all the pics! Are you sending a Christmas card to your wedding and portrait clients? It’s a nice way to keep your name foremost in their minds when they’re thinking of pictures. BTW, you should talk with the DeCourcy girl that’s at Master’s (Laura, I think) on Facebook. She’d be a great connection for all those Master’s college weddings in the spring.
