On Friday, we visited our friends who live about an hour away. Ethan is only 15 days older than Nolan, so it's so fun to get the boys together. Laura's due soon, so Conley and her little boy will be close in age too! Sorry no photos were taken---we always seem to forget to do that which is sad because we've been getting the boys together since they were babies. We have to remember next time!
On Saturday, we ventured about 30 minutes from our house to a Christmas Tree Farm. Thankfully they have some really good trees. We have been disappointed at some other ones in the past. This is the third time we've been with Nolan, and the first year was freezing! This year we could have been in short sleeves because it was 60 degrees! We didn't mind though because it made it easy to get out with the baby.
Then Sunday we had an appointment to get a Santa photo. The store, "Smart Books & Toys," allows you to sign up for time slots. How awesome is that? No lines, and they even had refreshments...not to mention the store is like toddler crack with all the toys everywhere!
Hope you had a great festive weekend like we did...here's some photos of our Christmas Tree hunt:
Cute photos! Are you going to share the Santa photos too? We're going on Wednesday night! Hopefully going in the evening will mean there won't be long lines at the mall!

ReplyDeleteI don't bother with the Santa picture anymore though, since I got 2 girls who for some unknown reason dissolve into tears as soon as they are supposed to go see Santa.
It sounds like a great weekend. I love the whole process of picking out a tree!
ReplyDeleteAnd an appointment for Santa photos, sounds amazing to me with little ones.
