This year, we decided to do this a little different. The kids are getting old enough to start some of our own family traditions. We went to a tree farm and cut down our own tree!
This tree farm was really awesome though. They had little displays that you could get your picture taken with/in/beside. The kids loved it and it wasn't too expensive! They have hot cider for you while they prepare your tree for travel! They have a "shaker" that they stand the tree on and it just shakes the tree like crazy which in turn makes all of the brown/dead/loose needles fall right off. They the put it in a plastic netting for easier travel! James and I said that was almost worth the $25! ;)
Here are some pictures of us at the tree farm. Some of the pictures are to the side of the blog so I will try and post different ones, but some of them you will have to just look at them twice!

It was 29 degrees that day, so the kids were bundled up nicely in their snow suits! I froze to death! Didn't even have gloves for myself. Everyone else did though! ;)
Peyton wasn't so sure of the giant snowman looking at her!
They both thought it was fun to help daddy by "pushing" the cart that the tree was on. Everytime I tried to snap a picture though, they would let go!
Gavin "tried" to hang some ornaments this year. For everyone that Peyton hung though, he took about 3 off.
She did really well this year. She was rather precise about where she wanted them...all in one spot.
This is our tree! It was shorter than we thought and a WHOLE LOT WIDER, so just put it up on a box and draped a nice green table cloth over it then put the tree skirt on. It worked out better because Gavin doesn't have access to as many ornaments that way!
