One of the many wonderful things we’ve found since moving into our home is that we have a Christmas tree farm right down our road, which makes finding the perfect tree a simple task! This year the weather was almost warmish and the Littles thought they were going to run all the way to the tree farm, Gramma caught them and loaded them into her car. Abbie and Chandler found the fun seats!

We all searched for our version of the perfect tree.

Maya found her favorite tree and decided to pose there until someone would take her picture!

If you’ll notice we had a couple tree-bugs sneaking out the back of our family photo ~

Maya stayed posed while the rest of the family smiled in front of the tree they chose

Mom had all the kids join around the tree she picked out, which she later realized wasn’t the perfect tree because it leaned to one side very badly and did not like to stay in the stand!

After all the posing, the boys got to work sawing through the trunks while the Littles pushed on the trees and said, ‘timber!’.

The girls helped haul the trees toward the vehicles.

Once the trees were on the strapped down to the vehicles leaving the neighborhood, we had cocoa & peppermint sticks. A family-fun-filled day. It was perfect.

Our pretty pumpkins turned into Jack-O-Lanterns. Our children into characters… a day filled with excitement in anticipation of CaNdY & Trick-or-Treats!

Abbie spent the evening with her friends. They spent enough time trick-or-treating to get a bucket filled with treats and a toothbrush! Then the girls spent the rest of the evening hanging out & having fun together.

James decided to retire the vampire and head out as a Fly Fisherman. It was awfully cute to see him lugging the giganormous bucket door to door.

James was dealing with an ear infection on this night and was excited about going out… we decided to head to the high school where he could be warm & cozy indoors and knock on lots of classroom doors!

These are some of Abbie’s friends who handed out candy dressed as volleyball players.

When James knocked on this door he was tricked or rather treated by Miss Ebie!! Miss Ebie is the owner of Country Friends, the school James has attended for the past 3 years. What a fun surprise to see Miss Ebie.

I had to get into the photos cause I dressed up too!

Our Jack-o-Lanterns lit up our front walk well. They were quite creepy!
