Trimming the Tree

We celebrated Pud's visit this weekend and our anticipation of our first Christmas at home by getting our first full-sized Christmas tree. Our living room smells amazing!

The kids had a great time running around the Christmas tree lot while J. and I meticulously inspected every tree they had. Thankfully we were able to convince Sadie that we did not need a pink Christmas tree. We found a beautiful tree that barely fits in the living room. Just wait until the kids wake up Christmas morning to their tree surrounded by presents!

This cowboy only likes pink balloons

Papa and J. took Sadie and Jack to the Montrose farmer's market, where despite his macho cowboy get-up Jack was very clear that he wanted a pink balloon.

Grammie & Papa's Visit

Nothing made Thanksgiving special for Sadie and Jack as much as Grammie and Papa's visit. The kids were over the moon to have 5 days with Grammie and Papa. Ever since the visit Sadie has been walking around the house picking up toy phones and having the following conversation:
"Hi Grammie and Papa"
"I'm good"
"I like my purple jacket" (Grammie and Papa bought Sadie a purple winter jacket that she is very fond of)

This conversation takes place about five times a day.

The kids had an amazing time going to toy stores, riding trains and carousels, going on pony rides and out for ice cream. It was an action packed visit that left kids all smiles.
