A Big Productive Day on Daddy's Day Off

So Alex had 2 days off in a row for the first time in forever. He took a vacation day the day before Thanksgiving so that we could prepare for Thanksgiving and get our Christmas tree!!! We are so excited for our first Christmas together as a family of three... plus Max. We had every intention of getting our Christmas tree from one of those farms where you can cut it down yourself. BUT time just couldn't be made to do that. So, Lowe's became our tree lot this year. I think one of the most hilarious parts to buying the tree was when we got home we forgot it was on top of Georgia and Alex tried to pull into the garage. Poor, poor TREE (our name for the tree this year. We are working on the word "tree" with Charlotte.)

 This is Charlotte's first glance of the tree. She does NOT like the way it feels.

 Max gets so worked up with the new things in life. A tree in the dining room totally threw him a curveball.

 Oh Tree. You are glorious... and you can't even tell that we are missing a few limbs from the garage encounter.

 "So, does anyone else notice there is a tree in the dining room?"

 She took so many cute pictures this day. She was so happy to spend the whole day with her daddy. She was so cute.

 This was PRICELESS. Charlotte snuck up on Max and pulled at his tail. How creepy does he look here??!!!???

 After the tree was placed in the dining room we did some yardwork. There is so little motivation to decorate a tree when it is 75 degrees outside. Charlotte loves being outside so she hung out with daddy outside. However, she hates her leg touching the grass. So when she sits in the grass she always has to have one of her legs up. It's hilarious.

 She was helping daddy rake. Look at her little chub rolls on her legs :)

 This is one of my all time favorite pictures of her.

 Well, her nickname is "Goose"... and she's hanging out like geese do with one foot up. :)

 Standing up barely holding onto daddy's finger!!

 She loves her daddy...

To end the day, Charlotte and daddy read a bedtime story. Here she is picking out which one she wants to read. LOVE thos PJs.

We love the days we can actually spend together. Those days go by way too fast and are few and far between. We make sure to take full advantage of our time together. Charlotte is crazy about her daddy, that's for sure.

And this was Thanksgiving Eve...
