Oh Christmas Tree

We had a fun time picking out our Christmas tree, the farm where we went also had a cute little market where we picked up some cider and homemade jams (Ryan is a total sucker for jams).

The whole time we were there Liam was on a "I want to do it!" kick, so he "helped" cut down the tree, and carry it and push Gavin in the stroller and so on.


We brought home a lovely Blue Spruce, honoring my Colorado roots. I love the smell of pine filling up our house.

Ryan did an awesome job with the Christmas lights, this was our first year with a place that we could put lights on, they make me so happy.

Your house looks so cute! I love it! I'm jealous you cut down your own REAL tree. We have a fake one...boo on us. And Rach you look super cute in that pic, very Fall chic.

Your house is adorable and now I want to go put up our lights! And also, Gavin is HUGE! I thought you were holding Liam at first but then I realized it must be Gavin bc he looks too small for Liam. Crazy. They are adorable!

I love your house. Reminds me of homes from my past in Logan. Lights are great and I enby the live tree. I did the old folks "buy a fake tree" a few years ago. No smell but the ROI is great. This year it was free. Hugs

ok....Racheypoo. It's time. I can't handle the non conforming vertical family photo on your blog. Can I please crop it for you so it fits? My OCD doesn't manifest that often but I just can't take it any longer.

I love all the pics. The lights on the house look warm and inviting! You missed a picture though. With the progression of the tree I thought we'd get a pic of it all decorated and in your living room. Maybe next blog right. I bet Liam was very helpful there too!
