Finding the perfect Christmas tree...

Out to our favorite local tree farm we went, on the hunt for the perfect Christmas tree. Lily was so funny, she found one right at the beginning that was about 8 feet tall and very full. It really was beautiful, but a bit to big for our space. She was insistent that that was our tree. Eventually she got busy running around and feel in love with another, but she really made a good case for herself.

The girls had so much fun running through the woods! They were so muddy by the end!

Hayrides and hot cocoa, such a great morning!

We had stuff going on the day we cut the tree, so waited until the next morning to decorate.

Later that day we made our annual gingerbread house, and of course it was a masterpiece. I found the gingerbread part preassembled this year, which was so nice. I really despise putting the house together, I always end up using a bunch of different cans to hold it up until the icing dries!

And here is the final masterpiece!
