Oh Christmas Tree…

A couple weeks ago, we went on our new annual tradition of cutting our own Christmas Tree.  This is a tradition, that I will be very sad to leave behind when we eventually make our way back to the south.  Until then, I will cherish the cold, looking for our perfect tree to bring home.

I loved that there was still a little snow on the trees.  It had been warmer the past couple of days, and the only snow we have had was the storm on Thanksgiving!

Taylor was a little more excited this year, but not much.  It was a little cold that day, and his gloves didn’t quite fit right.  We went to the same farm we went to last year, but this time Taylor made it very clear he was not going to sit on the pony.

“Hey dad!  I found one.”  Ha, not really, this is when his little fingers were getting cold…

Our tree.  It isn’t as great as last year, but still our perfect tree.  Since the weather was so dry this summer, there weren’t very many great trees to choose from.  Taylor had a blast decorating it, and it was a fabulous sight to see him choose ornaments and place them on the tree, even if it was the same tree branch.

I love this last picture of Taylor, his big blue eyes just staring back at me!  Love this sweet man, and can’t believe he will be two in little over a week!!  Hope this finds everyone well and enjoying the season as we prepare to become a family of FOUR!  CRAZY!
