Getting our first real Christmas Tree

This past Saturday, we got our first real Christmas tree!! It was so exciting. Lea loved running around and looking through all the trees. Zaden just hung out in my arms. 

It was so fun bringing the tree home. We got a great deal on lights and ornaments on black friday so once we got home, we got right into decorating. We can't wait to do it again next year! 

Next year we'll probably get a taller one!

Christmas Time!

December is such a great month!!! We finished fall semester and drove home to Oregon. We had an amazing time with family and friends. My birthday was great! I just had so much fun. We celebrated Christmas Eve at my parents house, like always. We had the missionaries over and our whole family.  We started off by doing the Nativity scene. Baby Lea was baby Jesus. I was Mary and Jason was Joseph. 

 

 

We had a great dinner and enjoyed each other until midnight. That's the time Santa always comes at my parents house!!

Christmas morning was amazing at Jason's house. Lea and Colby got to open presents early in the morning. Then we went to 9:00 am Church and came back to open our presents. We played minute to win it to receive our gifts. It was so fun!!!

For new years, we had a great time in Lincoln City. My parents rented a house right by the beach. The view was beautiful!! We had great time with each other, enjoyed the beach, the hot tub, and the new year!!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We decided to put up our Christmas tree last Saturday. Jason couldn’t wait. I told him that we could only put it up if we bought new decorations. So we did! Our old ones weren’t very pretty.Our colors are light blue and silver. The tree looks very cute. We created a trend. Our neighbors upstairs now have a tree and some of our other neighbors are planning on getting one soon!!
