Saturday, November 26th was our day to head out tree hunting. We went to Williams Tree Farm with the Soden crew. We got to the tree farm bright and early. We started with a horse drawn wagon ride out to the trees. We took our time and found a winner. Then we walked through the play area where Mads and Nate had some fun playing with their cuzzies!
Then it was time to fin:d the Big Guy!! Mads and Nate were able to wait in line to talk with Santa, while Michael and Brantley weren't quite diggin' it. (That's why the boys seem to be missing from the pictures - don't worry, they went back the following weekend and got their turn with Santa!)

That same afternoon we did our decorating. We started with Miss Amelia! Her stocking was hung, little tree decorated, and her beautiful kissing ball fro Grandma Mamie was placed as well!
Great job kiddos!
Back at home we decorated our big tree. Nate helped put the angel on top:
and Mads got to plug the angel in!
After all the decorations were placed... what a good looking tree!
Great work, kiddos!
Amelia's special ornament is always so beautiful being lit by Christmas lights:
The finished product!
There are so many wonderful meanings behind our beautiful decor. The stockings for our entire family were made by Grandma Mamie and Aunt Jeanne.. The nativity set was a gift from Gramma J. And of course, the beautiful clock used to belong to Grandma Honey and Grandpa Eddie. We also have hand made wood crafts by Grandpa Pete in each bedroom and the ornaments that Grandma Selma and Grandpa Pete gave to me each year growing up on the tree. Christmas is such a wonderful time of great memories!
