We make our way up to the NC mountains the weekend following Thanksgiving and cut down a tree each year. It is so beautiful and we love to catch up with the Harrell family while we pick our perfect tree. This year we just bought one since we have a toddler running around thought I must say he was really good with the tree! Here are a few photos from out trip...
Christmas Eve, our tradition is to read The Night Before Christmas before bed. Somehow we pulled that off last year, but this year - not so much. We were worn out! So, we will have to revisit that tradition in 2012.
Christmas Day was such fun, but busy as well! We started the morning with the surprises Santa left Jake under our tree (just the three of us). Then, we headed to Budroe and Bebe's for gifts and lunch and then back to our house for dinner and gifts with my side of the family. Christmas Eve morning we celebrated with my mom at her house and that was a relaxing treat as well!
