Since we were back in Utah for the holidays, I really wanted to relive my childhood tradition of cutting down our own Christmas tree. I loved the tradition growing up and I thought my kids would like it too. There is a place we could go within an hour of where we live, so I was determined! But Cory had to work like crazy in December, unfortunately and that included most Saturdays! So unfortunately, we didn't make it this year, but I will hold out for next year.
So as soon at Cory got off work on the first Saturday in December we headed out to find a great place to get a tree. We found this pretty cute little family tree lot, Merrill's Family Tree Lot. It had great affordable trees and reindeer and it was like a few miles from our house! I guess you can't beat that!
The kids checking out the reindeer. I was pretty excited about them myself!
Not sure why Lily is sticking her hand in there!
This one had a pretty impressive set of antlers!
Will was so excited and just really, really wanted a tree! He'd stop in front of every single one and ask if we could get it. He was quite dismayed that it took us so long to decide on the perfect tree!
See, here he is demanding we get this one!
I thought this double decker bus was pretty cool.
We finally found the perfect tree.
Look at this creepy photo! Alien Will!
After a brief stop at Walmart for lights, we got to trimming the tree.
It's this little girls first Christmas!
All the kids had so much fun making Christmas, as Will kept singing! Making Christmas, making Christmas!
Will kept right on making Christmas all the way up until the day. Meaning he just kept taking off ornaments and putting them back on. He loved it so much!
We are all pretty thrilled to have our first Christmas back in the states and in the cold!
