christmas tree hunting

nope... we didn't choose this one!
jax was the warmest of us all
izzy rode in the wagon
our search has just begun

perhaps as i've gotten older i've forgotten christmas traditions that my mom had in place or is it that we really didn't have any? i honestly do not know. so, it's because of that lack of memory that i want to ensure my children remember our holiday traditions. the sunday after thanksgiving we loaded ourselves into the van and headed out to santa's tree farm... our first tradition. once we arrived we all got bundled up and headed out in search of the perfect tree. and what do you know, we didn't find our perfect tree. we also found out that this was the last year that our tree farm would be open... tradition #1 bit the dust! we did however find the perfect tree at a boy scout lot down the road. perhaps our new tradition will be to roam the fields of a tree farm and then head to the nearest tree lot.
once we made it home we had the most fun ''making christmas."
