Christmas Tree Time

So this year, we decided to stay local and cut a tree down from a lot rather than head up into the mountains.  We started off the day with the kids opening up the drawer on the advent box and there were actually two activities in there - get a tree and go to a Christmas concert!

So, we got everyone loaded into the car and headed out!  Unfortunately, mommy didn't really realize how COLD it was outside, so after a short time of wandering around the tree farm, the kids both started complaining about cold toes.  We pushed them as long as we could trying to find the 'perfect' tree which daddy cut down and the employees at the lot carted it back to our car for us!

While daddy carried Janika back to the car :o)

We got home and got it in the stand right away before changing clothes and heading out to a choral Christmas concert - with both kids actually enjoyed and sat relatively still through!  The next day, we moved the tree into the house in preperation for decorating - those pictures will come soon :o)
