Each year we go to a local tree farm to cut down our Christmas tree. The past two years we have had the pleasure of my sister and her family coming with us. We also had Rooney visiting from college over Thanksgiving so we had quite a crowd.
This could be Johns last year to cut down out tree.
Yes, that is a football in Jeff's hand and you may be wondering why someone would have a football when cutting down a Christmas tree. Well that would be because once we land at the farm it seems the boys forget we are there to get a tree and rush off have a catch in the clearing. Finally they came around and helped pick out a tree.
Carrot wanted this tiny tree for Christmas. We told her it would not even show above the couch and she was a little red around the eyes for a while.

Hold on mom get my picture with the dough in my hand
We get ornaments almost every year but this year I laid them out in the progression of our life. It was amazing to see how many years have gone by via ornaments :) It is hard to believe my little kids are so big now.
The ornament on the left is the first ornament Jeff and I bought the year we got married then we bought the stork ornament when we were expecting Brennan and then all the kids ornaments from their first until now. I can't imagine how I will feel when they are in college.
