Holiday Season Begins

Today was the beginning of the Holiday season for us. Each year we go with the Simmons, Lees and Hydoskis to cut down our Christmas tres. This year we did things a little different...we meet for lunch and then instead of traveling to cut down our trees (due to how cold it was and having two VERY pregnant mommies) we went to a local nursery to 'pick' out our trees.

Arriving at the nursery





Jet found a tree



How much do you like that tree, Jet?



THIS much!

Bundling up to stay warm...it was cold!





It was so cold that the kiddos played in the car to stay warm




Except Carson and KJ. They were content to play with the rocks in the cold



The cars packed up...ready to go home to decorate!



Once we got home, we decorated the house and set up the Christmas tree. We have a tradition of eating appetizers and decorating the tree and then watching our first holiday movie of the season. It was a wonderful day!

Carson has loved the manger the best so far!



The only family photo taken all day

Hi, Jon & Jenni! You don't know me, but I was told about your blog at my MOPS meeting in Stephens City, VA last year about 2 weeks before Chase was born. I was praying for ya'll the whole time and was very touched by your story. Just wanted to let you know I still check in and enjoy seeing your family. You are a big blessing...Merry Christmas!
