It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas


Our family absolutely loves Christmas. We love everything that goes along with this holiday, and we have established some traditions that the Christmas season wouldn't be complete without.

Each year we spend time hunting for the two most perfect Christmas trees we can find (one for upstairs and one for downstairs). We bundle up in our snow pants, boots, coats, hats and gloves and look near and far for the trees that we all agree on and that will look beautiful in our house. Also along on the yearly hunt is Brent's sister Jody and her family. Our kids love having their cousins Ashley and Abbey along for the fun. After finding our trees, we go out for a nice lunch and then spend the rest of the afternoon decorating.

Another thing that our kids look forward to each year is making Christmas cookies with Grandma Bogart. They always come home covered in flour from head to toe, but with enormous smiles on their faces. They are so proud of their cookies and love to each choose a special one to leave out for Santa. Thanks Grandma for making this night so much fun for the kids!
