Saturday night, we had a great visit with the Stango family. We finally got to meet adorable little Andrew and see their GORGEOUS house! As you'll see from the following sequence of photos, Andrew gave Kyle one of his goldfish. Kyle had never had goldfish before but apparently really liked it because he snuck another when Andrew wasn't looking! Then they just hung out, snacking on goldfish and drinking some beers :) Andrew was so good at sharing (and he's only 19 months!). In addition to the goldfish, he also shared all his toys and kept bringing Kyle cars to play with, even "flower power"! Very cute and sweet little fellow, that Andrew.
Then Sunday, after spending most of the day finishing my various Shutterfly projects, we got our Christmas tree. We went to the same farm as last year and continue to be very impressed with their operation, as well as their tree selection. We took a tractor ride up to the highest field (gorgeous view of the sunset up there!) and had lots of great trees to choose from. And it was perfect timing..right after we (Jared) cut the tree down, the tractor circled back and brought us and our tree down the "mountain", where they put the tree on a mechanical "shaker" to get rid of any dead needles/leaves and then put it in netting. Kyle seemed to enjoy the whole experience, especially the tractor ride!
But then it was a very tense 20 minute ride home. I drove while Jared nervously watched our tree through the moonroof the entire time, afraid that he hadn't tied it well and worried it would blow off (like it did on the I-84 overpass a few years ago!). But his knots held and we put it up after Kyle went to bed, and decorated it when Jared got home from work today. Kyle likes looking at it but so far hasn't tried to grab the branches/ornaments...hopefully that continues (for both Kyle and Benson)!
