Finding the perfect Christmas Tree



After an eventful Thanksgiving filled with good food and lots of playing with all the cousins, our family ventured out to a Christmas Tree farm to find the perfect tree. We found a beautiful 8 ft tall Cedar Tree, which Shawn cut down himself.

Emily was a little grouchy during the trip but Peyton had a great time running up and down the rows of trees. Peyton had the brilliant idea of getting a smaller tree for her and Emily to decorate. We found a 4 ft pine tree. The girls spent one rainy afternoon making ornaments for the tree. It sits in Emily's room in the window and looks great. Peyton was super excited to decorate the big tree in the living room. This is the first year that she has really gotten into decorating for the holidays. Every ornament she grabbed went on the bottom row of the tree.

We're very busy getting ready for the holidays. We have lots to do including the Christmas Festival, parades, a school program, school Christmas party, field trip to see Santa, Cookies with Santa and a fifth birthday party for Peyton. More pictures will come to highlight the happenings of our holiday season.
