Christmas Tree!

Every year, on the day after Thanksgiving, we go to Hozak Farms to get our Christmas tree. It is one of my favorite family traditions. Unfortunately, I just could make it this year, so Craig and Ella took care of everything.


Ella arranged (and re-arranged) our nativity set and then insisted that I take a family portrait.


She was anxiously waiting for Daddy to tell her she could cut the twine from the tree.


This was the first year we let her climb the ladder by herself and she was thrilled!

Then Grandma and Grandpa came over to play.

I buy a Hallmark family/photo frame ornament every year, below is 2007.



Dad was busy helping.

My two favorite people in the whole world!
