Christmas Tree Adventure

We wanted to do something different this year and decided to go to Ticonderoga Farms for their festival and to cut down our tree. It was such a wonderful time and definitely will be returning next year.

Boys Found Frosty

We were hoping that this would also be our Santa visit but sadly the Santa was not all that ideal and the Owen was pretty shy about it. First year this has happened.
Owen quietly told Santa what he wanted.

Candy Canes won them over.

Boys with Santa

Owen loved the real teepee

Even with Owen coaxing him, Aiden did not want to come in.

We had fun sitting on the hay

He Loved Being up There

It took 4.5 years, but Owen went down the huge slides by himself and LOVED it

Aiden went right down...

and twisted

Turned

And ended up backwards and kept going back for more

I got to have fun going down too

Boys at the Farm

Then we climbed on the hay ride and got dropped out with a saw to cut down our tree. I saw the one I wanted from the wagon and fell in love with it. Omer cut the tree down with a hand saw

The boys played

Then I took the boys for a walk.

They enjoyed walking through the hay

Tree Cut! Omer Tired!

Back on the wagon with our tree

Owen was helpful with putting on the lights

Was very excited to hang a couple ornaments and then decided to go play with Aiden who could have cared less about decorating

Owen talked a lot about putting the star on top.
