We love Christmas and all that it means and symbolizes for Christians. Yes, the presents are fun, too, but we really try to keep it in perspective and remain focused on why we celebrate Christmas. We also love the music, cookies, tree-cutting, decorating and snow! December is such a fun month.
Annual tree-cutting with Holly's family and my parents the day after Thanksgiving. This is so much better than any Black Friday deal!
Maybe this should have been our Christmas card?
I picked the tree this year, and Ben cut it down.
He only needed a little help at the very end.
After cutting, we always come back to our house for Thanksgiving leftovers and the kids have fun unwrapping the tree.
A few years ago, The Elf on the Shelf, (ours is named Lightning M.), made an appearance at our house and he returns every December. He loves to hide in clever places, and the boys have fun searching for him each morning.
He even made a snow-angel this year!

Ben and I You-Tubed how to cut fancy snowflakes. We went to TOWN the other day and had a great time getting better with our cutting.
A fresh snowfall this weekend helps it feel like Christmastime. We took Luke out to the backyard for his first sledding experience.
He loved it.

Awesome last pic of Lukey:) Your snowflakes are so fancy!
Great post.
my fav pic is you bending over to help cut the tree. Which is in Luke's face.
You had me, I thought there would be a picture of a smiley Luke. Love the snow angel
What a woman! Cutting down a tree while wearing a baby on your back! Love the snowflakes. Are they made of construction paper? Wrapping paper?
