Bring on Christmas!

We are so lucky to have had Jeff home a few days this week. We took full advantage and packed the week with family activities. Today we did a day full of Christmas. We started the day with a trip to Trinity Christmas Tree Farm, what a fun time! We told Jack we were going to cut down our tree when we woke up this morning. Jack is really getting into the holidays this year so it is really fun for us. However he is getting some of the holidays a little confused so all morning long he asked (more like threw his body on the floor kicking and screaming) for his special pumpkin carving knife to take with him to cut down the tree. Well at least he is enthusiastic about the holidays!

Here is a picture of us getting ready. Jack wanted to wear Jeff's gigantic boots!

We could not have picked a prettier day for a trip to the tree farm. What a sunny fabulous day! Here are some pictures.

We then stopped in Issaquah for some McDonald's lunch which hit the spot for all of us after a long morning of tree hunting! We headed home for naps, both kids passed out in the car on the ride home, so tired!

After naps we headed downtown for Santa pictures. jack was so excited on the drive there, he was determined to ask Santa for his beloved lawnmower. To our surprise Jack did really well with Santa and was excited to see him. Santa's helpers asked him to ride the horse so Santa could hold Julia with both hands since she is so little. Jack took his role seriously as big brother. Julia also did great and although we did not get a smile her eyes were wide open the while time! We did not get a smiley pic here of either kid, but we did see some good smiles from Jack so hopefully Nordy's got a good one. After Jack nervously asked Santa for his lawnmower.

What an awesome fun day for our family!
