The past two years, our neighbors, or "Nana and Bear" as the kids call them, have let us tag along and get our Christmas tree, way up in the forest. We start off with coffee and cocoa in the truck and try to keep the busy boys occupied for the hour it takes to get up there, we follow the mountain roads and usually do a little off roading until we reach a spot we want to get a closer look, then we traipse through downed branches and snow to find the perfect trees! Once the main mission is complete we visit the cabin to do a little sledding (Roman fell asleep by that time). Kamden memorized every part of the trip from last year so he was very excited when he was able to do a little more adventurous sledding this year after his first attempt last year.
*Let it be noted that Roman now has appropriate boots for snow after Grammy took him shopping on Black Friday, because up to that point we hadn't gotten that far in our winter apparel search. ;)
Now that our tree has been decorated about 3 days it is currently home to several balls (not the ornamental variety, can you find them?!) and has been attacked by a foam bat by a child that is convinced ornaments are simply practice for t-ball so don't judge this decorating job too severely...
