The kids have their own tree this year. They had so much fun making decorations to put on their tree.

A very kind doctor in Raymond let us come to his tree farm and cut down two trees. We played hide and seek in the trees, like I used to do when we'd go to get our Christmas tree when I was a child. The only difference was the huge holes in the ground here...the Doctor sells his trees for landscaping so they dig up the whole root ball which can be massive. I was a little afraid Austin would trip and fall in one of these. I kept a good eye on him. Justin had fun jumping in and out of them. I love traditions.
