We finally went to pick out our Christmas tree this past weekend! After attending the early service at church, we headed over to the tree farm, unloaded the boys, and bundled them up for the cold tree hunt. Since it rained the day before, we even tried out their new snow boots.
Josiah is all decked out and ready for the hunt.
This is actually our 3rd attempt at getting all of them to look at the camera at the same time.
And . . . well, we soon discovered why we were the first ones to the farm. It didn't open for another 2 hours! So we went to get Tim and Joel's haircuts and then headed home for lunch before we tried again. At least the weather was a tad bit warmer the second time around.
After our hay ride was cut short (the tractor motor overheated due to all the mud), we quickly found a tree. As you can see, our family is now so big that we actually cover up the tree,
but I promise there is one behind us!
Joel got his face painted - a snowman.
The boys played in a hay maze while we loaded up the tree.
We decorated the tree tonight.
It was a little bottom heavy.
I couldn't help myself and secretly re-arranged some of the
ornaments when the boys weren't looking.
Josiah made sure the lights were not too hot.
Finished product!
And this is the beautiful arrangement my neighbor designed for our front porch.
Now I just need to get some Christmas shopping done!
