Saturday we headed out for our annual Christmas tree hunt at Lenderink's Tree Farm. This year Shawn, Erin and Owen joined us in the quest for the perfect tree. With the cold temperatures and snow on the ground we were dressed in full winter gear - this year even Shawn, Erin and I donned snow pants for the outing. We wandered for a little while until we happened upon the trees we thought would be perfect. The boys were enthralled as they watched Shawn saw down their tree, but not quite as interested when Cory cut ours down. We walked back to the front of the tree farm where the boys, including the big boys, were excited to go sledding. I think this activity was a highlight for Joshua and Owen who both wanted to go down the hill over and over with various people escorting them. We ended our morning roasting marshmallows by the big bonfire. Joshua and Owen preferred non-roasted marshmallows and Owen only preferred pieces of marshmallows fed to him by Joshua. It was a fun morning! Sunday we set the tree up and decorated it as a family. Joshua didn't have a ton of interest in this, but did find some ornaments that have become his favorites that he hung on the tree. What a great start to a fabulous season! The video below is a recap of our weekend.

What a fun day! Joshua feeding Owen was so cute, and it looked like you all had a good time sledding! What a great family tradition.
Another great year of family tradition. It appears the Shawn and Cory had the wrong kid at one point (just kidding, of course you knew that). Love the marshmallows...Owen was so content to let Joshua do all the messing part...however, it was surprising to see Joshua with gooshies in his hand. Great day for all!
