It didn't dawn on Ryan and I until we were walking around our local Christmas tree farm today, that this was the first time Luke had been with us to pick out our Christmas tree! This is a normal occurrence for those of us living in the Pacific Northwest. I can't remember a single Christmas growing up that we didn't head out as a family to a farm to pick out and cut down our tree. Ryan even grew up on a Christmas tree farm. Luke spent his 1st Christmas with us in Colorado where we picked up our tree at our local Costco (super unOregonian). Last year, his 2nd Christmas Ryan picked one up at lot.
After almost 3 years home we still had another first to share together.
Lily's first time helping up put up the Christmas tree!
The joy and excitement on Luke's face today while walking up and down the hills through the mud and muck was precious. The 3 kiddos had so much fun together, they even all managed to crack just a little smile while sitting with Santa.
