Pictures by the tree

It’s been a few years since we’ve done pictures by the tree. The kids were actually pretty excited this year to do it again.

It seems like for a couple of years, they were annoyed by it, and finding Christmas pajamas that they liked was a hassle.

 This year I bought them all pajamas and they gladly put them on and smiled and even posed for pictures. Jenna and Zac even wanted to re-create pictures from when they were little.

Christmas tree

I haven’t taken as many pictures as in years past. But we did get our tree this past Saturday while I was on call, but thankfully not busy. Our nights have been full and finding a time to go get a tree has been tricky. Surprisingly Lowe’s was out of trees when we went on Tuesday to find a tree. So we went to a cute, albeit over-priced, lot in Orem, called Fredrico’s. It’s a beautiful Frauser fir. Tonight we watched Elf and decorated the tree. I have to say, after all were in bed and the house was tidy, it was sure sweet in the living room listening to Alan Jackson sing Christmas song and looking at the lights on the tree.
