All is Merry & Bright

Christmas is coming! I couldn't be more excited this year. Just going out and getting a tree was super fun with the kids. Evan is especially excited about all things Christmas. We went to a local tree farm and cut down the tree ourselves. This was the first year we have done that and I think this will be a family tradition. The kids loved it and so did we. 
And can I just say I love my camera. These pics were taken about 10 minutes before it was complete darkness so the fact that I got any images without a flash is amazing. 
Tractor ride. 

Tough decision. But we absolutely let him pick it out, even though we were afraid it would be too big or too small. He picked one that was perfect.

Just carrying a baby and a hacksaw. Nothing to see here. 
I only got a couple more pics after they chopped it down but even with a fast lens zero light = can't see anything. 
Trimming the tree was very exciting for both kids. All my ornaments are shatterproof so do not be alarmed by the images that follow. 
First up, lights!
Then dump out all the ornaments, kick them around the room, have carrying contest, make snow angels in them and eventually put them on the tree. 







I'm about 90% done with my Christmas shopping and I'm so glad because it can be stressful. But now I can sit back, relax and enjoy the Holidays with these beautiful kids. I just love seeing things through their eyes, it's so amazing.
