My-oh-my we have been busy! How we have enjoyed the Christmas season! We have done so much fun stuff!I just love the memories that we make and the traditions that we start. It is also fun to pass down traditions from my childhood to my children. There is something magical about Christmas when you look through your children's eyes!
We began our holiday season at the good old Christmas tree farm in Van Alstyne. I absolutely LOVE doing this! We started this tradition the first year we moved here and it has gotten more fun each year as Jackson and our family grows. The drive is beautiful and the land is gorgeous! This time around it was pretty cold. However, I liked getting our tree while it was cold out. Something about the cold says' "Christmas." We got a HUGE beautiful tree that smells so good!!! We will continue this tradition as long as we can.
Jack chasing Katie with his giant stick! Too funny!
Every year our city puts on Merry Main Street. Christmas lights are on every building and synchronized to music, Santa and his reindeer (real reindeer) are there, there is fair food and carolers and a huge model train display. It is a great time to gather with family and friends to begin the holiday season! We went the first year we moved here and made it a tradition ever since.
Our crazy family!
Snuggling up trying to keep warm. Love him!
My sweet boy enduring the cold because he loves us so much!
Enjoying a sweet treat
Bre-sters and me trying not to freeze. We broke the icicles off our eyelashes before we took this picture;)
Sweet Emily
Look at those cheeks! I just love Sam!

Jack began asking us if he could put the star on the Christmas tree before we even got our tree. All he wanted to do was put the star on. So cute! Let me just say that we definitely have a Clark Grisswold tree (a lot sap). It is HUGE! Somehow Scott managed to help Jack get the star on the tree. He probably should have worn a safety harness!
Jackson and some of his friends gathered at Color Me Mine for Painting with Santa. The children painted an ornament, listened to "The Night Before Christmas" read by Santa, decorated a cookie, and painted their hand which was placed on top of Santa's hand on a plate. Jack was out of his body excited. I cannot tell you how amazing it is to see the magic of Christmas in his eyes. Santa was incredibly sweet with Grady who, in turn, was mesmerized by him. This will definitely become a tradition for the Fish boys!!!
