Twas the 2nd and 3rd Day of Christmas

On the second day of Christmas we decorated the house. The boys were excited until they realized that they had to pick up their toys before getting out the decorations. Even with lots of tantrums they were super excited once the halls were decked. And their favorite decoration? The Precious Moments toy nativity. They arrange and rearrange the figures all day long...so love it!

On the Third day of Christmas we picked out a Christmas tree. This is our first tree in 3 years! We got a great tip from one of Braden and Carter's preschool teachers about a tree farm in Shelocta, PA. We took the scenic route through the back woods of PA to get there and it was worth it. It was a great drive and we had a great time once we got to the farm. We got to take a hay ride up to the top of the hill where we wandered around looking and searching until we found just the perfect tree.

Once we found our perfect tree we chopped it down and then headed down the hill to wait for our tree to be wrapped and prepared for us to take home. While waiting we went in the barn where the boys got to see Santa Clause. Carter was so excited to see him. His eyes just lit up!

We then paid for our tree and headed out to watch the tree get wrapped up and then we tied it to the car to head home.

We must have waited longer than I thought cause this little stink fell asleep on the way home.

When we got home we were going to just put the tree up and wait to decorate it but the boys were much to anxious and excited. So we decorated it...and it is so pretty. This is the first "fresh tree" we have had and I love it in our house. The lights are magical and it really feels like Christmas is coming.
