We are only two weeks away from the big day, and we are in full Christmas swing around here. We are big believers in tradition, and this year has been no different, although we have made a few small changes. We usually start the month off with a trip to the Zoo to see all the lights. The weather, however, has been less than conducive for outside viewing, so we wait for a decent night....hopefully before Christmas (oh please, oh please)! Another annual tradition is cutting down our Christmas tree....well we switched it up this year a little. I collect Christmas ornaments and the real trees can never hold my most favorite ones, so I decided to get a fake one. I know, I know it's not the same, but all my ornaments looks fabulous and we have tree scented Scensty burning so we don't miss out on that wonderful fresh cut tree smell. We also decided to let the boys have a tree in their own rooms, one that they could decorate themselves. This turned out wonderful, and they had so much decorating their very own trees. Every night Grant kisses his tree night, night, and falls asleep staring at it.
Grant decorating his tree!
Finished product...so very proud!!
Jaxson sorting through all his ornaments.
His "Oregon" ornaments...could not forget about those!
All done! Not sure what that face is...kinda scary!
The family tree, one of my favs by far!!
We did get a slight dusting of snow...hardly any at all. It was enough for school to be cancelled though and the boys could not wait to go outside and play!
Jaxson and his friend Nate were trying to make piles of snow without using their hands...nice try guys!
Grant had to get in on it too! This was a very funny sight, I can't imagine what our neighbors were thinking:-)
I love the trees in their rooms and am totally stealing that idea for next year! Noah had a few lights this year but would LOVE an actual tree!!!
