Christmas time is here!!!

December at our house is always very busy but we are usually busy doing fun holiday things so nobody seems to mind much. Christmas is mom's favorite time of year so theres always something going on. The Saturday after Thanksgiving we went up to cut down our Christmas tree. This was the first year I have been to cut a tree when there wasn't any snow. We didn't get our usual spot either so we had to hunt a little longer than normal to find it. We did find one though and it was fun anyway. I like having all my family there and roasting hot dogs and marshmallows around the fire. Since we had so much to do the next week we decorated it that same night. I helped mom make Christmas cookies and we all slept in the living and watched a Christmas movie like we do every year. Here are some pictures of our Christmas tree day. It was a very full day but still lots of fun.

















Tonight mom and dad took Jay and I out to look at Christmas lights. We packed cookies, got hot chocolate at Dutch Bros. and drove around to look at all the lights that were in the paper for the light contest. It was even more fun than we thought it would be. We got to see Santa twice, pet some llamas that were dressed up as reindeer, and ride the train downtown! Below is a picture of all of us with Santa at the house that won first place. Those of you who live in town should go check out all the lights. Theres lots to see and do! Hope you all are enjoying your holidays as much as we are!
