Christmas Tree Hunt and Decorating

Wow, my computer has been so slow these past few days! Oh well. This past Saturday we went to cut our Christmas tree down at the tree farm we have been going to the last couple of years. Last year Jarred was too little to know what was going on and it was so cold he didn't really have much fun. This year I still don't think he had any idea what was happening, but at least he had fun while we were there.

Here's a pic from last year:

Here's a pic from this year: I think he looks much happier this year :)
The tree farm we go to has a nice play area for the kids with a wooden train to climb through, a pirate ship to climb up and go down a big slide, and a tee pee. It also has a little petting zoo type thing with geese, a llama, goats, miniature horses and a donkey. Jarred had the most fun looking at the geese (which he kept calling ducks). Grammy and Grandad (Dan's parents) came with us this year and we even got them to get a real Christmas tree...woohoo! Here are lots of pics from the tree hunt.

We decided to put the tree up and get the lights and balls on while Jarred took a nap in hopes that he would think they couldn't be taken off. So far it has worked and he has left the ornaments on the tree alone. We put a train around the base of the tree this year for the first time. Jarred's Grandad got it for him for Christmas last year. Jarred thinks it is the coolest thing and loves watching it! Thanks, Grandad! Here are some pics from the tree decorating and Jarred enjoying his choo choo train.
