The Christmas Season Is Here!

Going to get a Christmas tree each year has become such a fun family tradition!   It's something we all really look forward to.  I love family bonding time!  We usually go the weekend after Thanksgiving but Harley was in Thailand.  So, we missed the 60 degree weather and had to settle for 6 degrees.  We bundled up the girls and headed for the Christmas tree patch.  

We had talked this year about going to cut down a tree in the forest.  Both the girls said that they like the tree patch better because they have apple cider, hot chocolate and a fire.  Maybe when they are a little older we'll attempt the forest and bring our own apple cider and hot cocoa.  

That's the tree!  Right behind us!  


I love the how the girls were so excited to help with the tree!  Harley was so good and patient with them.  They all took turns helping daddy put the lights on.  

As we approach this holiday season, may we focus our hearts and minds on the true meaning of Christmas. 
 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6
