We continued our tradition with going to the Hampton Hills Tree Farm to pick out our tree. Pete and I have been doing this since we started getting a tree back when we were dating, so it's fun to keep it going on with the kids :) It was a cold day so we didn't walk around much. The past few years we have actually not found a great tree so we have bought at the tree lot there, but it's still fun to go walk around and make a afternoon of it. They have Santa and sleigh rides going, we didn't do either this year but hope to next year. The boys love any type of adventure and being outside so it was a win for them.
"It's a Beaut!"
The boys' play room even got some lights, which they love:)
We started a new tradition this year, as we didn't visit Santa at the mall but we joined him for breakfast at the Macy's downtown. The boys got to also meet Mrs. Claus as well as face painting and ballons. I couldn't convince either one to try the face painting, but we tried at least. The reaction to Santa was similar to last year, Colton didn't care for him up close but was ok from a distance. Henry was in love this year and couldn't wait for his turn. It was pretty cute to see him love up on Santa, he even held his hand. After breakfast we saw the Macy's Christmas display on the 8th floor. The boys thought it was really neat.

A visit to Nana & Papa's, Henry really loved the nativity scene and kept looking at baby Jesus, my mom thought it was the sweetest thing... a moment worth mentioning ;)
We made our first ginger bread house, it certainly was a masterpiece by the kids :)
