The Hunt for O Tannenbaum

On the first Sunday of Advent (note the appropriately themed purple outfit) we set out to find the perfect Christmas tree. For some reason mom and dad decided we needed a shorter tree this year because they want to elevate the tree on a table. With my potato rosemary bread in hand, off we went to the local tree stand in Wedgwood to find a cute noble fir. Mommy made sugar cookies, we drank hot cocoa and played Christmas tunes.

I was confused that I couldn't play with all the shiny balls (a.k.a. ornaments). One casualty was the Virgin Mary's wooden head of the Nativity Scene that I dropped, (thankfully reattached with a little super glue), the other casualty was the folks nerves as I got into EVERYTHING! Here are some of the things I overheard mom and dad say:

"Where's the super glue?"
"Do we need all these decorations?"
"Does the tree need lights?"
"No."
"Does Audrey need to take a nap?"
"Oh no!"
"Give that to mommy."
"Don't put that in your mouth."
"Aye!"
"Do you think she can reach that?"
"I think we will need a new centerpiece."
"No No No!"
"I love you Audrey Bernadette."


Is this the one?

O.k. let's go home
