Cutting down our Christmas Tree





We cut our Christmas tree down the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and I have tried to post these pictures several times now. Peyton had such a good time riding on Daddy's back in the backpack. He thought he was so cool. We had a beautiful day to go and cut our tree down. We live about 1 mile from the Virginia border, so we went into Virginia to get our tree. It was the same farm we went to last year. They had so many beautiful trees to choose from and the best part was that they only cost $15.00. Nowhere I have ever lived have we ever been able to cut down a tree this beautiful for only $15.00. It was awesome. I do have to say that I missed trekking up the mountain side in Colorado to find the perfect "charlie brown" Christmas tree, then hauling it back to the truck just in time for some hot chocolate. Well, maybe I didn't miss it that much.

As soon as we set the tree up, Peyton decided that it was fun to play with. He won't leave it alone. He pulls off the needles, the lights, the ornaments. Oh well, at least he hasn't knocked it over....yet!

Peyton Learns how to blow a kiss

We have been teaching Peyton to blow kisses. It has been fun to watch him figure it all out. At first he would blow pretty good kisses, but now he has progressed to making noises with his kisses, and this is what he does now. Craig said he is going to have bruised lips because he does it so much! He is so just too cute! I have been having problems uploading videos and photos lately, but when I can get it to work, I will post new pictures and videos, so check back.
