Every year, for the last 6 years, Dan and I have gone to the local supermarket, literally picked up our Christmas tree and WALKED it home. I have done it with my roommate (and Dan). I have done it 9 months pregnant. I have done it 3 months pregnant, sick as a dog with a 1 year old in tow. And now, I have done it with a screaming toddler and a baby.
As per tradition, we make a stop at the local Starbucks for a beverage (and a bit of a break). It makes for a great photo op as well....we sorta.
Joel wasn't the happiest camper the entire time. In fact, he cried most of the way home. We realized later that he had to pee and that he refused to go in the public washroom or in the diaper we forced him to wear (he just started potty training at this point and we didn't want any accidents).
Anyway, we stopped at City Hall fountains to let Joel run around.
Dan had a bit of fun dressing up the tree!
And once we got home, we took almost a hundred shots (yippee burst mode!) to get this one, with all of looking at the camera, semi smiling! Our annual tradition is complete and we were exhausted!
But it was worth it!
