Holidays - Part 2

We started off the Christmas season by getting our first Real Christmas Tree from a local Christmas tree farm (we have always had a fake tree since we've been married, but decided to change it up this year - we didn't even know that there were tree farms so close to where we lived).

Here we are looking for our tree...we even got a tractor ride to see the whole tree farm!

There's our 9 foot beauty all cut down and loaded up...and the boys in front of the tree once we got it home.

One good thing about living in a small town (I think this is the only good thing i can think of) is that the town does really cute things for the kids during the holidays... For example, they have Santa drive around the neighborhoods on a fire truck throwing candy canes.

Here are they boys waiting in the front yard patiently for Santa....notice the tunnel of lights up our driveway (very Clark Griswald)

Alex and the twins were quite the performers at their school's Christmas show.

Alex as Frosty the Snowman....and the twins ringing their little bells (ok...Matt doesn't seem all that excited, but at least he didn't cry...Zach was actually really cute and got some laughs from the audience when he noticed us in the crowd and would wave and scream"Hi mommy, Hi daddy")

I had some great videos of the show...but it was really taking way too long to download onto the blog...Oh well!

We had a very full house on Christmas Eve...my parents, my sister, her husband Jake, their dog Bubba and Jake's parents shared in the festivities...even Santa made an appearance!

Alex very happy to see Santa!

Matt is not too sure about this Santa fella...Zach is pretty happy to see him (as always they seem to be 180° apart)

The boys getting their toys from Santa!
