Christmas Tree Time!!

We were blessed with some non-rainy Oregon weather yesterday, so our tradition of getting our Christmas tree over Thanksgiving weekend was a very fun (and dry!) experience.

We once again went to Hagg's. Such a great farm, even if it is WAY out in the sticks!

Getting the kids' boots on.. they were SO excited!

Ready to find a tree!!

Evelyn trudging ahead up the muddy hill.. she couldn't wait!

The "ooooh ooooh"!! That is what Matthew calls dogs. This is the farm's dog. He was very friendly. He met us AT our truck and followed us around for a while, much to Matthew's delight!

Getting a kiss! :)

Group shot!

My sweet pea.. love her!

Matthew spotted something! Who could it be?

Yeah!! Jody and Lori found us!

The girls...

Jo Jo and the boy! He really was happy to see her, even if he wasn't smiling in this shot!
:)

After a while of looking, we found our tree!!
The "saw guys" getting ready to chop it down!

TIMBER!!!

My sweet family...

At the farm store, they have lots of animals, crafts, and food. Matthew LOVED petting the animals!

Evelyn, on the other hand, didn't like the smell!!


She opted for the fake animals instead!!

She loves nativities... and she had to have her picture taken with the one at the farm!

Afterwards we were going to go to the new Five Guys near our house.. until we found out it didn't open until Monday! So sad! Oh, well.. we hit McDonalds instead.

He must do it himself!!

Yummy lunch!

Time to go decorate and enjoy the Christmas spirit! LOVE this time of year!! Merry Christmas!
