Oh christmas tree, oh christmas tree

Happy December! 
This year we bought a real tree with the kids, which we haven't done since Dan and I's first year of marriage.  It was nice.  It would have been better if there was snow on the ground.  It would have made it feel more like Christmas.  Anyway...
 Here's my beautiful family riding on the tractor to go out to the tree field.  We've gone to the same orchard for two years now to pick pumpkins and we decided to try out the same place to get a tree as well.  It was nice.  The trees were huge.
 Here's my little man, helping pick out a tree.  We called him "Coach" for the day because he looked so cute in his little track suit.
 This pic is so funny of Dan carrying the smallest tree we could find.  :)
 This is the best picture I could get of all three of them.  Why is it so hard to get three sets of eyes to look at the camera at the same time? Grrrr.
 Take three on the family photo by the tree.  This one actually didn't turn out too bad.
 The next day Dan hung our Christmas lights.  I just loved that day.  It is so nice to have Christmas lights up on our first house together.
 And this is me, "helping" put up lights.  Ha ha.
 Our baby girl standing by the house.  I just love how little she looks.
And my little baby boy, decorating sugar cookies for the first time with Mommy.  I just love this picture, except I hate how big he looks.  Sad face.

Well, we're all geared up for the Christmas traveling craziness.  I'm excited to have a week off work for the first time in... ever.  We're going to spend lots of time with family and just enjoy the season of our Lord's birth.  We've really been trying to instill in our children that Christmas is not about presents, but about Jesus and family and the many ways we are extremely blessed.  And we are so blessed.
