Oh, Christmas Tree

It's that time of year again!
Last Sunday we drove 30 minutes to a small Christmas tree farm.
It had rained all day....but stopped for the hour that we were at the farm (so thankful)!

We had a pretty hard time all agreeing on the "right" tree.
After some searching, we decided on this little beauty.

Luke is ready to cut it down!

Time to take the little guy home!

Lana wanted to take this Charlie Brown Christmas tree home.

We even got a ride on a tracker for a better view of the farm.

At home!

Under our tree I always put our nativity sets.
We added a new one this year.
The nativity set on the far left was my mothers.
I remember it at her house growing up...so priceless to have it at my house now.
The one on the right my parents brought back for us from Israel.
The Little People Nativity set is a must, and the kids still enjoy playing with it.
These are precious to me....and help me remember why we celebrate Christmas!!!

Rusty celebrating Christmas by the fire....where you will find him everyday!
Silly hot dog!

My boys liked this post. ;) We're going to get our tree today. I'm glad it is sunny. We have the Little People nativity too!
