Christmas Traditions

So today we went and picked out our Christmas tree as is our tradition every year about this time. It wasn't as snowy or cold as last year but we still managed to almost give our kids frostbite and argue about where to walk to get our tree and which one to get. . .aahh Christmas cheer :) Luckily our arguments are short lived and we ended up picking out a great tree. Darby as always was a trooper and Trevor slept for most of the time. It's not up yet, but just having cut it seems to get me more into the Christmas spirit.

Last night Darby, Trevor, and I went to the Bozeman Christmas Stroll. It's where you freeze your ass off walking up and down main street and, if you're fast enough and brutal enough, push your way in to see Santa Claus ride down the street lighting the decorations. Okay that makes it sound pretty bad when actually it was quite fun. Funner if it wasn't 10 degrees out. We met up with friends, got to see the Alpacas, had some candy canes, saw Santa which Darby was so excited about and took their picture with him. Darby is asking for a "pink present" from Santa this year . . .I think Santa can handle that :)

We went to get our tree this weekend too. How far did you have to walk in the woods to get to the trees? From the looks of the pictures walking looked pretty easy. Also did Darby have any opinions about the trees or just what was her reaction to all of the activity?

So Santa got her pretty excited. How cute. What all does she say about him? These early years are just some of the cutest. And most challenging. Keep up the good work. Guess who?
