O, Christmas Tree!

Every year, Adam and I debate the merits of real vs fake Christmas trees. I love real, he prefers fake. I ultimately win out every year because I feel more passionate about it than he does. Plus, this year Ethan was old enough to add to the pressure of wanting to go pick out a real tree (thanks Ethan!). We found a beautiful tree (even Adam admitted it was the prettiest one we've ever gotten) and decorated it yesterday. Ethan insisted on putting EVERY ornament on, which resulted in them all being in the same 2 square foot section of the tree. I, of course, had to go back after he went to sleep and rearrange all the ornaments.

You might notice Austin doing this same silly face in every picture lately. Every time we ask him to smile for a picture, he opens his eyes really wide, but doesn't actually smile.
