Christmas Tree

The Saturday after Thanksgiving we headed to a local tree farm to pick out a tree. We had so much fun last year at this place so we decided to go back.

They have a barn full of trees so we started looking there first.

Then we headed outside to look.

Rylee picked out her favorite one. Then after we decided on one we headed back into the building for some hot chocolate, popocorn, and of course to see Santa.

Rylee was so much braver this year than last. She started off by just standing by him.

And then we thought maybe Sadie would join her...but not so much. She screamed, she was terrified of him.

So Rylee got on his lap by herself and told him what she wanted...games and barbies. I was surprised she said barbies cause she's never really played with them before...good thing Santa was listening.

Giving Santa high 5's and saying thank you.

Sadie was brave enough to give him a high 5. She also said "ho, ho, ho" for him. She says it so darn cute.

*Decorating the tree*

That night we decorated the tree. We let the girls help a little before they went to bed.

Deciding where to put the first ornaments

Rylee was really concentrating on picking just the right spot for her ornaments.

Sadie looking cute and innocent with her ornament...but really she wasn't so innocent. It didn't last long before we decided that was enough help from her.

Rylee loved decorating the tree!

Sisterly hugs

Yes, these are hugs and not a choke hold :)

I forgot to take a picture of the tree all decorated but you'll have to take my word that it was a great tree! I love the feeling in the house once all the Christmas decorations are up!
