A Christmas Tree and Santa

An annual tradition of ours is going to Elizabeth Farms to pick out and cut down our own Christmas Tree. Chris and I have been doing this for the past 4 years. This year was no different. We bundled the boys up, loaded them in the car, arrived at our destination, boarded the horse drawn carriage, got out to the Christmas tree field only to discover that Logan was having an asthma attack! YIKES! We boarded back up onto the horse drawn carriage who then took us back to our car and we loaded the boys back up and headed back to the house for his medicine! Who knew...the boy is now allergic to Christmas Trees! So much for that tradition! Now, next year we will have to start another tradition, what that is we don't know. But what we do know is that we will no longer be cutting down a tree and bringing it home, instead we will now just bring it out of storage!

The boys are excited for Christmas this year. It is fun to see their excitement with every little thing. They are loving their stockings, the Christmas Tree and ornaments, the outdoor lights and decorations and Santa. Luke is especially fond of the tree and the glass ornaments. He loves looking into them only to see himself looking back. The does that several times a day and just giggles and giggles at himself.

Santa

I took the boys to see Santa at the mall this week. Logan got right out of the stroller and walked right up to him and sat on his lap. I got Luke out of the stroller and Luke turned right around and climbed back in. He was having none of that! Logan enjoyed Santa and asked for a swingset and train table for Christmas...looks like it is going to be a very good Christmas this year :)
