Today, in keeping with our tradition since we've lived in Columbia, we drove out to Sumter to the newly renamed Old Congaree Run Tree Farm to chop down a tree to decorate for the holidays. Although it wasn't the 70 degree weather we had last year, it was still a lovely day for a hayride and a walk in the field with the family. The boys had a grand time choosing our tree and helping Daddy use the saw to chop down the tree.
Later in the day the boys decorated the tree. Milo was very dedicated to this process, using a step stool to reach different parts of the tree and spending quite a bit of time arranging all the ornaments. We placed our two menorahs on a table next to the tree. Calder, unlike his brother, was less interested in the decorating and more interested in playing with our nutcrackers. After we finished decorating the tree, the boys danced to the "Nutcracker Suite," pretending to be the Nutcracker and the toy soldiers fighting the Rat King (i.e., Mommy) and his henchmen. Oh what fun, especially when they vanquished the Rat King and dissolved into giggles.
