Let It Begin....

Thanksgiving is now over and we at way to much food that was way too good!
Every year on the weekend after Thanksgiving our family meets up for breakfast (usually a
t Panera Bread) then we all go to a local tree farm and cut down our Christmas trees! After our breakfast we all bundle up and go searching for the "perfect" tree to cut and bring home. I love the whole experience of getting a "real" tree. We go to the same tree farm every year and the whole family gets our picture taken every year. Every year they remember us and are happy to once again take yet another family picture. While the husbands tie the trees to the cars, the kids and wives warm our hands by the fire while we wait. It's become quite a tradition! Looking back at our Christmas pictures I found our family pictures from the the past three years! It's neat to see how the kids have grown from year to year and how the family has grown a bit too! Next year Bobbi and Matt's new baby will be with us! Here are our family pics from the past three years!

CHRISTMAS 2009
After we get our trees we all go home and decorate like crazy while drinking hot cocoa and listening to Christmas music! It has become such a fun tradition and the kids really look forward to each year!
Here is a picture of this year's finished product! Let the fun begin!!!
