On to Christmas….

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree….

Friday we did some relaxing, some play dates, some shopping, some lights on the house decorating, and just enjoying each other.

Saturday we headed on our Christmas tree hunt….

 

Nolan found the perfect size for him.  Jacob and Lucas decided to be scarecrows in the middle the trees.  Makes sense right?

After some back and forth, the boys picked out their favorite choice.

While daddy got it loaded on top of the car the boys and I enjoyed warming up with some hot cider and cookies.

Nolan helped hold the string so the tree wouldn’t fall off! ;)

Jacob is really into reading to Lucas right now, and apparently playing Santa…Ho Ho Ho.

The tree is always too tall that Matt has to do the top of the lights.

The boys have been gathering quite a collection of ornaments and each have their own container we keep them in.  Every year they still get excited when they take them out of their container and look at them.  They were awesome helpers putting the ornaments on this year.

The first night our Christmas tree is put up the boys get new pajamas.  We enjoyed being comfy in our pjs, munching on a snack, and watching a movie with the glow of the Christmas tree.  I love this time of year.

And to top it off, can you spot who made his appearance in our house once again?

Yes,  good ol’ Elfie is back.  Now only if he can remember to hide in a new spot every morning. ;)
