Tonight we went on our annual trip to get our Christmas tree. This is one of my favorite Christmas traditions! Ever since Jason and I were engaged, we have gone to this little tree farm on the corner of Dallas Hwy, picked out our tree and then gone to get coffee or hot chocolate from Starbucks. This year we are boycotting Starbucks (for many reasons!) and went to Duncan Donuts. Also, this is usually the first time that I get to turn on my Christmas cd's in the car, much to Jason's chagrin :)
This year was especially fun since Ava is beginning to grasp the holiday and she loved going to pick out our tree. The tree farm had lots of blow up characters and christmas lights strung around all of the trees. Ava LOVED the blow up Santa and every chance she got she would run over to him and wave and say "Hi, Santa!" She also made friends with the blow up Frosty, Rudolph and penguin. There was a nativity scene and Ava was very proud of being able to point out baby Jesus and Mary.

This night is always so much fun, I can't wait until next year!
It took every funny and distracting move I had to get Ava to look at the camera for this picture. She kept turning around to look at Santa and wave to him.

"Mommy, come and chase me!" We stayed warm by playing chase around the Christmas trees.
This was our tree we picked out!
