photobombing the christmas tree

sorry for the long time between posts. it’ll probably happen again.
i blame pinterest.
new tree place this year. not quite as cute, but the trees were really nice.
if only we could have found a nice family with christmas sweaters to bomb.

the tree

honestly, i kinda wanted to go somewhere else this year. our tree last year was a bust. and a friend of a friend has a tree farm where the trees aren’t trimmed...just wild, crazy-looking frasier firs. but in was outvoted. and when i look at these pictures, i think i’m ok with that.

before...after

the whispering pines photo i promised....
taking it down. can you believe it? we are lucky a fire didn’t start. we cut it down...i watered it religiously at least once every day...and we get this. not blaming anybody, just curious as to what to look for when you are cutting down a live tree.

merry christmas

olivia’s abercrombie fitch card as customized by daddy.

greetings

try to be surprised if you see these shots end up on our card this year.
more cool shots from olivia.

santas be sketchy

i can’t look at this photo and not laugh at everyone involved.
it was a perfect storm.
and if you have a minute for a time-waster, check out this.

hmmmmm. some people have a rough time i guess.

merry

hope you had one.
more christmas goodness to share, i promise.
xoxo.

the box

we keep some of the kid’s artwork and photos
in our christmas boxes up in the attic.
so every year, we get to go through...as sam like to call it...our “old days.”
this is one of my favorites.

whispering pines

or, in our case...frasier fir.
the sad face on olivia is cause she thought she broke the saw. but she figured it out.
we have been going to this same farm since olivia was a baby.
horse-drawn wagons, bonfires, hot chocolate, hot dogs...the whole deal.
and they take our picture (and everyone elses)
and put it in a photo album for us to discover the next year.
i love that.
