Boy were we wrong. We do this a lot. A by "this", I mean forget what having a toddler really means...complete lack of control of any situation. Sometimes that works in our favor - like this weekend when I had to watch Cavin, bake treats, and make dinner while Mike did some work around the house. Cavin was an angel...played with my toys and barely asked for my attention. I was able to get a ton of things done! Sometimes it does not work in our favor. Like our day at the Christmas tree farm.
Now in Cavin's defense, it was a COLD day. His cheeks were chapped and he was tired.
In summary, we were there what felt like 5 minutes, had what is equivalent to a shot of apple cider between the 3 of us, bought the 2nd tree we looked at (only b/c the 1st tree we looked at was immediately taken by someone else during a Cavin fit), and the tree ended up being enormous...so much so that Mike could barely carry it into the house himself. So it wasn't quite the fun Christmas experience we had planned out...but I still managed to get some pictures (even if Cavin only smiled in one of them).
Look! Two snowmen! (Cavin would only take this picture if we gave him the car keys.)
I'd like to say this is a picture of Cavin searching for our tree...but I think he was running away from us at the time...
And once we found him, his body went limp, he fell to the ground, and refused to come over to where we wanted him (this is when our tree got taken from us)...
But we still LOVE him very much and think he is the best boy in the whole wide world! Though the jury's out on how Santa feels about him now...
