The Annual Hunt

We headed up to Preston on Thanksgiving weekend for to find our Christmas tree. We love this tradition and look forward to it all year. It was such a beautiful day - the sky was bright blue and the snow so deep and pretty.

















Jacks was so excited to cut our tree down. He did it totally by himself and was so cute focusing on sawing.

After some mountain-side hot chocolate, we trekked home for our "Christmas Kick Off." We had a yummy dinner, lots of delicious Christmas-y treats and my mom had made the most fun Christmas gift sacks for all of us. The kids all got new Christmas books, shirts, and advent calendars and the adults got cute decorations and festive Bath and Body Works loot. So much fun!

We finally got the tree lit and decorated last night and are loving it. So far Stella has refrained from knocking it over and undecorating it completely. We will see how long that lasts.
