Getting our Christmas Tree

We always cut our Christmas tree down the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It's always fun seeing who finds just the right tree. Dallin and Steve found the tree this year. Later on, I asked Dallin who found the tree this year, he said "It was me and my buddy." He sure loves his Dad!


Here are the kids before our actual search for the tree. You can tell it is before the search, because they aren't tired yet and they are cooperating and letting me take their picture.


Here they are after we found the tree. I was trying to get a picture of everyone in front of "our tree." That didn't work! I think they are still tired from all those Disneyland pictures I made them pose for.

Here is another fabulous photo. It seems like every year the kids have to hug the tree. It looks like Jordan and Austin really are in love with the tree. Should I be worried?

Here we are back home, we addeed the lights to the tree. Dallin is putting the star on top. Our next Christmas event is heading to Snowflake Lane at Bellevue Square hopefully we will get some decent photos from that.

You are so lucky that decorating the tree is a family event. We get our tree and put it up, then Matt plays video games or watches tv while I decorate. The kids do help some. It looks like everyone had a great time!

Bellevue Square, huh? Do they have a good Santa?

Shauntel,
Steve and I were just at Bellevue Square on Saturday and we noticed the Santa. Yes, they do have a great Santa (real beard & great set), if you want pictures though they are EXPENSIVE!
Have you ever been to the Snowflake Lane? It happens every night at 7:00. Real drummers dressed up as toy soldiers come out and play. There is music, lights,and then it snows (foam bubbles come down from the roof top). It's fun for the kids!
