"We're Goin' on a Hunt"

"We're looking for a Christmas Tree, we're goin' on a hunt."
"Is it over here, is it over there?"
Can we just find one please? We want to go home!
BRRRRRR.
It was cold as we loaded up on the tractor in search of our perfect tree.
When we finally found one, the boys took turns helping daddy saw it down.
Logan said, "I'm so glad we found the perfect tree I always wanted!"
Taking it back to have it shook up and bundled.
Speaking of bundled:
Daddy ties it to the top of the car.

While daddy loaded the tree, the boys ran through the crazy maze 4 times!

Proof that mommy was there, too!
I'm so excited we are getting to wear the hat that Amy H. made and the coat that Amy F. made. They are soooo cute and even cuter on my Mattie!

The boys couldn't wait for mommy to get the lights on (why do I get stuck with that job?) so they could hang some ornaments.

So fun.

Ta Da!

We moved the tree to behind the front door this year. Not my favorite place for it, but we have a little mischief maker in the house. I'm sure she would have pulled it over by now trying to pull up on it, played in the water, and eaten a few ornaments! For now, it is safe.

Mommy and Daddy couldn't resist getting a little tree for the boys room:
We (or should I say Mommy) strung popcorn and made a paper-chain garland. The Mickey ornaments have been moved to their tree. And Logan's star is at the top!
The anticipation is building as presents are appearing under the tree.
We can't wait for Christmas!!!
