A Family Tree Hunt

The day after Thanksgiving has become our traditional tree hunting day and we were so excited to have Jace outside of me this year! We invited Nolan’s parents down to join us for the day. We started out by going out to breakfast at Elmer’s (I would go out for breakfast every day if I could). Jace enjoyed his graham crackers.

On the wagon ride out to the tree lot. Jace was tired, a little cold, and not so sure about what to think.

He enjoyed riding in the backpack on my back

We were happy it only lightly sprinkled on us!

Nolan starting to cut down the tree. I’m glad I snapped this picture when I did, because right after taking it, I walked back a ways to get a tree wagon. By the time I got back, Nolan and Jack had the tree down and in the pathway waiting for me!

It was great having Jack there to help Nolan. He’s much stronger than I am! Plus it’s fun for them to have father-son time.

Jace LOVED the cows! He makes this awkward noise when he gets excited to see our pets, and he made the same noise, plus some squeals, for the cows.

Hanging out with Grandma in the greenhouse, looking at a model train, while waiting for the tree to be shaken and tied to the car.

Back at home Jace was more interested in the lights than the tree.

Happily letting Grandpa hold him (quite the contrast from the day before).

Lots of fun pictures...you might want to change "Jace and Becky" for Nolan's parents...FYI :)
