Getting Our Tree: Dec 5th

We LOVE cutting down our own tree. It's been a "tradition" that we've forfeited some years for sheer convenience - but each time we do - we regret it! It's just not the same. This year we committed to going out to Sunrise Tree Farm and continuing a tradition we began a few years back.

Sweet PeasMe & my girls
Daddy & Shy
**see how far away the tree appear?? Daddy may or may not have been reading the map wrong - and we may or may not have hiked all the way past those trees before realizing that we were on the complete opposite side of where we needed to be on the tree farm. Good time!!**

Searching for the perfect one is the best part!!
Ta-da!!!

Hollie & Shy are in awe of daddy! He's amazing!!
Ok. I know this shot is blurry but it's sooooooooo cute of Hollie-bear! I love it!
While we waited for a wagon to come 'round to pick us up, the girls conquered this dirt pile over and over again. Bad news was, I had forgotten to pack their rain boots so they all wore their shoes from church that morning. Lovely.
Daddy & Mommy watched from the sidelines


Next Post: Putting the tree up!!! Stay tuned!

OH how fun, instead of going to purchase one from a street corner vendor whose sign reads "Christmas trees from Oregon" you all got to pick and cut down your own tree IN Oregon. Love those girls, they are so sweet. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU THROUGHOUT 2011!!!

ooops!

I just realized that those "8 Month" pics I posted a few days ago weren't the 8 month pix.  They were more like one day shy of 7 month pictures... and THESE are the 8 month pictures! ha. o well... not much difference.  My editing was terrible in the 7 month pix - these are unedited, and probably for the best since it's not my strong suite! ha! (isn't this outfit from Nonnie ADORABLE!?) Love, love, love this one:    This is a typical face.  If he's not sucking in his lip, he's spitting and soaking his shirt with drool! (sorry so blurry - just had to remember this face!)
