Christmas finally begins for the Nash Family when we cut down our christmas tree!
Every year we bundle the kids up and head to the mountains to our favorite tree farm. We always go the day after Thanksgiving....we don't waste a minute of valuable christmas time! After picking out the perfect tree, we watch as Daddy skillfully cuts the tree down.....plumbers crack and all!
The kids can't wait to get it home and decorate. We had a great time getting out all of the decorations, and playing "hide the pickle" which is a scandinavian tradion that the kids love; where you hide a glass ornament that looks like a pickle somewhere in the tree, and child who finds it, get a reward. The kids love it! (lily won this year).
Another thing that we love to get out is our santa pictures. Every year we get the kids pictures taken with Santa and we put them in the same picture frame, and the kids love to get them out and display all of them on a table (we have 9 of them now!) It is pretty funny, because one of the kids is always crying, or screaming in the pictures.

What an awesome tradition, I wish we had something like that around these parts. Oh well, guess we'll have to move to Washington :)
That is such a fun tradition to go cut down your own tree! You guys are such a beautiful family!
