O' Christmas Tree...

This weekend we had quite the experience getting family pictures for Christmas done and going to get our tree! We went to get our pictures done early this morning, a few turned out well, it will be a challenge for several years to come I imagine, Braeden had to be bribed with candy and Brooklynd just sat there for most of it, I can't even imagine how we will do it next year with them both running around. Some of the most adorable ones were with just them of course, I will upload them soon so you all can see!! After heading home to change out of our nice clothes, we headed over to meet up with Trista, Jason and Kody to seek out the perfect Christmas tree!! Last year Darren suggested getting a Noble (as I have always had Douglas Firs growing up) so we decided to go to a U-Cut Farm that Jason had suggested. The place is right outside of Oregon City...We had a good time trecking around through the tree farm with the boys UNTIL I realized our video camera bag had fallen out of our stroller or rather off, of our stroller. See I had "temporarily" hung it on the handle not very securely...to make a long story short after about 10-15 minutes of searching we were very thankful when Jason came across it! We are very lucky! Besides that little problematic spot in our trip, it was great. We walked away with a great tree for less than half of what we payed last year for our noble! I am so very excited to decorate it, hopefully very soon! Our lights are up outside (Darren took care of that the day after Thanksgiving!!) and the house is decorated as well. I love the holidays with all the adorable decor and fun festive recipes. I am going to attempt some baking this year hopefully time permitting! I hope you all had a great weekend and are having a great holiday season thus far.
