Christmas 2011

I love traditions....they make the holidays so fun. The kids declared this one the best one of all. I'd have to agree! We're definitely going to adapt this one on Christmas Eve day from now on. Bryan came up with it, he's super fun like that, one of the things I love about him...

We loaded the kids up in the car and drove .8 miles to our backyard which is a state park filled with trees + a river + forest animals.
Then we saw it...the perfect tree...
To decorate!
So we pulled over, Bryan pulled out the video camera and the kids went to work.
Easton loved the little red balls + got in on the action too...
Everyone wanted to be the one to put up the star...Brody had a chance, but it didn't quite make it up (a little tricky to put the loop on) so Connor officially hung the star this year...
Then right on que the snow flakes started to fall...
We declared it the best tree ever + ran home to whip up a batch (or two!) of hot cocoa + curl up by the fire.
Merry Christmas!
