We hustled back from the island after Thanksgiving late Friday evening (arriving home after 1 AM!) just so we could keep up with our annual post Thanksgiving Christmas tree hunt. We headed back up to Hansen's at Green Bluff, our favorite tree farm, to pick out the perfect tree!
You guys, this year is the best year yet! Lincoln finally really grasps the whole Christmas/Santa fun and he is so into it this year. He picked out our Christmas tree and of course helped Kevin "cut" it down. Once we had picked the perfect tree and tagged it for tree pick up, shaking and baling, we made our way back to the bonfire for s'mores and hot cocoa!
Hansen's is one of our favorite places to pick out our tree, not only because they have the best Christmas trees, but also because of the little extra's they throw in for the kiddos. They always have free hot cocoa and candy canes in addition to letting each little one pick an ornament off the tree to take home. This year they added s'mores around the bonfire which Lincoln loved!
After collecting our tree, we headed back home for an afternoon nap before all of the holiday decorating fun began. I pulled out our Christmas box, a tradition we started the first year Lincoln was born, and filled it with this year's Christmas jammies, a new movie Winnie the Pooh's Christmas, a new book, Llama Llama Holiday Drama, hot cocoa, marshmallows, and homemade Christmas Popcorn (recipe to come!). When Lincoln woke up from his nap, we were ready to get our holiday jam on. We played our Christmas Playlist and got to work, completing all of the Christmas decorations prior to settling in for a tasty leftover Thanksgiving Turkey Pot Pie, holiday movie and treats.
It was the perfect way to wrap up our weekend and kick off the Christmas season! We've got lots and lots of holiday activities planned for the next few weeks, so be sure to check back in for more holiday fun!
