Oh Christmas Tree

While the babies are napping soundly, I thought I would write about our fun Christmas tree adventure that we had on Saturday.

Chris woke up at 6am to make his famous omlets (and watch College Game Day). They are seriously the most amazing omlets in the world! Emma even loves them too but Owen would rather have Lucky Charms any day of the week :) So after gorging ourselves on our yummy breakfast, we all bundled up and headed to Northern Lights Christmas Tree Farm. It it our favorite place to go because they have the best atmosphere! Tons of Christmas lights, hay rides, hot cocoa, bon fire, wreath making and a petting zoo for the kiddos. We decided this year we wanted a noble (again). So we all loaded up onto the trailer and headed out to the noble patch. After about 20 minutes of tromping around in the mud we found it! The perfect tree. At about 8ft tall it is definitely the biggest tree we have ever had, but at 34 degrees outside, we were not about to be the least bit picky :) Owen had a fun time cutting the tree down with Daddy. On the way home he was filled with questions about our tree. It's so cute how his mind is constantly working.

After we got home, we all warmed up to some home made hot cocoa and enjoyed the amazing smell of our beautiful tree. When the babies woke up from their naps, we all had fun decorating the tree and placing the presents underneath. We look forward to having a simple stress free Christmas this year!

This weeks adventure... Christmas candy/cookies!
