Getting our Christmas Tree!

Tis the season to be Jolly! and in the spirit of Jolly Team Oakley went out to get our tree! 

We started with a cozy morning in bed at home as a Team Oakley family. We got a package in the mail the day before, so we opened it in bed. It was two matching beanies from Grandma Caroline! She had made a hat when she was in TN about a month ago, and Michael gave her some yarn when she was out here to take back with her to make for him and Emery (if you want one of your own, please visit  http://www.etsy.com/people/Myfriendcaroline). 

Here is handsome Emery Rockin his new hat




And here is father and son showing off the matching handmade goodness! 





















After our little fashion show and shoot, when we were just hanging out, Emery discovered the kitty tail! 







Once Silver made his great escape, we had a few more snuggles, then we bundled up to go out in the FREEZING cold and get our tree. 



Here is team Oakley!


And here is Emery, just waiting for us to stop taking picture of him and take him out of the car. 


Emery loves lights, and in this holiday season, he is always wide eyed with excitement! 








Michael, or shall we say Dad of the year, put Emery on a flat bed to take him around and look at the Christmas trees. Safety first my blogger friends! 


We first looked for the tree in this tent, but they did not have small ones, which is more our style. 



Then we went inside to warm up before heading back out to find a small tree. It was so cold outside!!

Michael wanted to scare Emery with a Jack in the box, so he slowly turned the handle of doom, and waited.....and the stupid toy made both Michael and Beka jump while Emery looked at us like "what's the big deal guys...?"





After that we braved the cold again to get our small Christmas Tree. Beka loves the smell of the rosemary trees, so that is what we were looking for.

Here is the winner!


Emery likes the smell of it too. 




So there you have it! Our tree is bought and the season is started. Merry Christmas everyone!

Love,
Team Oakley
