Seeing Santa and Putting up the Christmas Tree

We went to see Santa right before Thanksgiving at the mall.  Avery was so excited to see him but was really shy once we actually got there.  Lily wanted nothing to do with Santa. 

When we were in Idaho one weekend we decided to go up to Amanda's parents property and cut us down a Christmas Tree.  Forest Christmas trees may not be perfect but they are so much fun!   We rode the 4wheeler in to get it with our little trailer on the back.  We got so muddy!  After much debate we found the "one."  
We had to decorate it fast since Brian had to take a work trip the next week.  We did this after watching the First Presidency's Christmas Devotional.  The kids got a little bored but were really excited for the pop at the end.  We have the tradition of having Brian do a toast with sparkling juice as he puts the star on the top of the tree.  This year was no exception!


Lily loved getting all the decorations out, especially the balls
