We headed out to Benjamin Tree Farm not too far from our house - the same place we've been getting our tree for several years now. Luckily the wind had died down and it was quite a nice afternoon!
Not impressed in his snowsuit.
Or on the "sled" with Logan.
It doesn't really look like anyone is having any fun!
Finding the perfect tree.
Jacob experiencing snow for the first time!
Logan is looking slightly concerned here...maybe about Scott's abilities to cut down the tree?The pictures that follow are a failed attempt at a picture of the two of them together...
Lumberjack Scott
It's down! Logan is so excited!
Logan teaching Jacob all about snow.
Mmmm, a snowball.
Brainfreeze!
Bringing the tree back to the van.
Warming up with some cookies and juice.

Ahhh! So cute!So we brought it home and put it up yesterday and then we put the lights on during the boys' nap this afternoon and we all decorated it together when they woke up.
Scott putting up the lights.
Our Christmas balls from Bronners. My grandma and grandpa Dolson gave me mine when I was 2 or 3. Scott also got his in his childhood. When my mom was in the States earlier this year, she picked up balls for the boys as well. I'm so happy we all have them. They look great!
I made Logan some hot chocolate for the first time, he loved it!
Jacob was pretty cranky this afternoon, but he was there!
Logan wanted to be the one to put the star on the top...he could almost reach.
He was so excited to watch it go up.
Jacob checking out one of his ornaments.
Hanging it on the tree with daddy's help.
Logan hanging an ornament. Logan was totally into decorating the tree, he loved it!
Helping daddy find the next one to hang up.
Not only was he cranky but lazy too. He couldn't even pick up his cup.

Nice to see your lovely tree - and the so adorable grandboys!
I am sooo happy you posted this blog today. It made me soo happy!! After such a brutal day, and coming home to put up my own Christmas tree, the pictures of you guys doing the same completely made my day, maybe even my week.
Thank you!!!!
I also loved decorating the tree when I was little. We even had a big tree and a little tree that was all mine. I had many favourite ornaments that I couldn't wait to unpack every year, I still remember my wooden Noah's Ark and my little velvet Gingerbread Man. I've never had a real tree btw. It is so cool that you and Scott each got the same ornament as kids and now you have the same ones for your kids!
