This weekend we went out to cut down our Christmas tree! Normally we get our tree the following weekend, but with us hopefully moving soon, but not knowing the exact date, we wanted to make sure we got a chance to enjoy the Christmas season. So off to the tree farm we went! We found a great farm with a large hill of trees that all looked nice. This was the easiest it has ever been for us to find the perfect tree. Normally we will walk around for quite a while, scrutinizing every tree, till we settle on one...this year it took us under 5 minutes...and that's with stopping to take pictures! We really couldn't go wrong at this farm, there were a lot of great trees! Ok...enough about the farm already...I know you all just want to see the pictures!

Lily loved the baby trees that were her size:

Later that night, after the tree was up, and the lights were on it (we're forgoing putting up ornaments for now, until we know when our closing date is), I pulled out some presents to wrap. Lily loved the bag of bows, and the crinkly wrapping paper. I put one of the bows on her nose, and ever since then she keeps taking bows and tries to stick them to her nose!
She also had fun pulling every bow out of the bag! She made quite the mess!
Our little present:
It would appear we got our tree one day to early though. We woke up the next morning and there was at least an inch of snow on the ground! And the good kind of snow...perfect for snow balls and snowmen. It's was ok that we already had our tree though, because we had plans with Becky, Jon and Kyan to take the kids to the Big E fair grounds to meet Santa! We let the kids run around and play in the snow for a while before going to meet Santa. I think they really loved it...they were all smiles!Kyan and his snow ball:
Lily laughing at Kyan running around:
The kids did great when we went in to meet the big man himself. Santa unfortunately was a little underwhelming, and was in a purple suit, but he was nice. Neither of the kids cried, and were happy to sit in his lap for us mommy's to take our pictures.Lily and Santa; wondering who this funny man is:
Kyan and Purple Santa; fascinated by his lollipop:
After meeting Santa we let the kids play in the snow again for a bit. Kyan is getting very affectionate with Lily lately. He kept leaning in for a kiss and a hug from her! It's so nice to see them getting along so well, and knowing they enjoy each other company so much!Kyan moving in for a hug:

Lily enjoying her time out in the snow:
I'm so glad we live in an area that gets snow, and that Lily enjoys it so much!!
