We went and cut our tree down together on Sunday, It was a lovely outing, complete with hot chocolate! We had to adapt our tree to actually fit in our house. The trees at this farm were particularly large. The tree fits and it is huge. And, we all agreed, quite possibly the most perfect tree there ever was.
The boys had fun helping saw the tree down. Elias even wore his hard hat and goggles. That one's always a stickler for safety! Asher carried around a pitiful little branch while we hunted for the perfect tree. He called it his little Christmas tree. It was reminiscent of Charlie Brown! Hayden just loved being outside as always.

This morning the boys woke up to find that St. Nicholas had left them some gold (chocolate) coins, a chocolate Santa and a new puzzle. They really enjoy the story of the "real" santa! Check out this website if you want to learn more about the man behind the stories: www.StNicholasCenter.org
Hayden thought his first St. Nicholas Day was fun. Everyone was in his room when he discovered his slippers and a new book behind his curtains. He didn't care a lick about what was in the window, but he just loved that everyone was paying attention to him!
We love you all and miss you so much!

I am loving the frequent updates on your family! The boys look great. I can't believe how big Hayden is . . . and that I still haven't met him! Enjoy the season!
