Santa Visit 2017

Our Santa visit was a success! Kallie was a bit shy at first but warmed up for a cute photo. For weeks she had talked about asking Santa for a FurReal Tiger and Fingerling Monkey but to my surprise she told him she wanted a cast and crutches for her American Girl Doll because she is a gymnast and might get hurt?!?!? He smiled and said that sounded like a good idea!

Annual Tree Hunt

We set out to find the prefect Christmas tree at Trinity Tree Farm near our house. Kallie loves it there because there are train rides, a big bonfire, hot cocoa and lots of hustle and bustle. We had fun exploring the farm but could not find a tree we liked so we decided to hit our favorite tree stand just down the road. Well good thing we did b/c we found an amazing tree! I guess you could say we got the best of both worlds.

The next day cranked up the Christmas music and decorated the tree. Kallie loves talking about each and every ornament as we take it out of the box. Our tree is sort of a mish-mash with old ornaments from childhood and new ornaments from our adventures each year. We have a fun tradition of buying a new ornament when we go on vacation, at this rate we might need two trees pretty soon!

Let the Holiday Season Begin

Crack Crack is here!!! As always he appeared on December 1st with a pair of Christmas jammies for Kallie. She was so excited he arrived and just as excited to start opening her advent calendar. Our house is decorated, outside Christmas lights are up and we even found the perfect tree over the weekend. Let the Holidays Begin!
