Christmas Tree Hunting

To get Christmas started in Grandma and Grandpas house we go Christmas tree hunting! It's been a life long tradition for me and something that I'm so excited for you to experience too!
The place we used to go when I was young was far away and had this scary cliff we had to drive next to. The place we go now is in Holister...a city just south of us. Its a short drive and this place is owned and run by a great family, us there is a bunch of stuff for you to do...besides run around in the dirt!
Here is our journey Christmas tree hunting...

First...you are not a fan of Santa, I don't blame you, he's a strange man in a funny outfit...

Then, You grabbed a saw (a kid saw with a plastic blade...I'm a good mom I promise!)

And we were on our way

Then we debated which one was the best...tall enough...full enough

You were just excited to chop a tree down with your saw!

Then you got a little bored and you and daddy went exploring...when you sit on your daddy's shoulders you either play with his beard/side burns or you stick your fingers in his ears...it's just you loving your daddy

Daddy intimidating the trees...

Then we found it...the tree we got was a little stubborn and Santiago helped us chop it down...with a chainsaw, which you loved

Then we waited, the guys put our tree on the shaker and then bagged it and helped us get it on the car.

Jack, you were here too...you are about 27 weeks old here

After we got our tree we went on a tractor sleigh ride

You were pretty excited...

You loved watching the tractor!

I love this picture...just a sweet moment

And I can't get enough of this picture...you were talking to us and plopped your head down...so cute!

After the tractor ride we went to the petting zoo...

It was quite a fun day...you really enjoyed yourself.

I keep thinking back to last year...you were almost 1 and not walking, now you are running around, speaking in sentences! What a difference a year makes.

Jack you were here too...and next year you will have a great time with your brother! I can't wait!!
