Hunting for a Christmas tree

This is the 3rd year we have driven up to longview to hunt for a Christmas tree. I love driving up together and listening to Christmas music as a family the whole way there.


This is the one!


Helping Dad cut it down



My dad and brothers joke that Hyrum doesn't talk to people, especially men. So this was totally unexpected for him to talk to Santa. And you saw it here...he actually hugged him!


Gabriella wants a "singing blue bird to sing her to sleep at night." ?????????



A visit to the barn to feed the animals...look close those are Santa's reindeer behind the fence!


Decorating our perfect Christmas tree! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
