A Favorite Day of the Year

Growing up, our families always went to get a Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. We are carrying on that tradition with our family, and we have had so much fun with the kids. They LOVE running around the tree lot and Jake loves trying to find "his perfect tree". This year we found a tree we all liked, it looked the right size, then when we got it home, it was so tiny! But it is perfect. Last year was Jake's turn to help put up the star, so this year Kenzie was excited to do it.
After all the happy and sad days this week(because we have had the extreme!) we are excited to move on to a fun Christmas season!

I had the same tradition growing up. And we now do the same thing. Your pictures came out great. The kids looked like they had fun. It was a lot colder then I had thought it would be with the wind on Friday but it doesn't look like it bothered them.
