Oh Chirstmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree






We made our annual hike through the tree farm to find the perfect Christmas tree. We often go the weekend after Thanksgiving and we were able to continue this tradition again! Jonathan had his first trip to find a tree this year and enjoyed his time crawling around and trying to eat the weeds. Emma and Jude enjoyed running through the rows and rows of trees and then helping Daddy cut the tree down. Muscle Man Jude pushed the tree over. We are trying to focus the season on Christ and making his birth the center of the season and it is wonderful to hear the kids talking about Christmas being Jesus' birthday and that this is why we give gifts to each other. They are looking forward daily to being able to put another piece of the nativity onto the advent calendar. May the season of Christmas bring many blessings, peace and joy!
