It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

So many great memories this holiday!

Searching for the perfect tree is always a hunt!  This is the second year we have gone with the Karlson's to Cobbs.  The boys had fun running up and down the aisles of Christmas trees with their cousins.  We did decide on one tree, but went to another lot the next day for the "big tree".

Sweet Memories

For the past few years, we have been decorating Gingerbread houses on Thanksgiving. Most of the family pitches in, and it's always a lot of fun!

Merry & Bright!

This year, Eric (and Colton) put lights on both stories of the house!  I was a nervous wreck watching them, but I will have to say they looked awesome!!

Christmas Tree Lane

with the "Wilks Girls"

This year we walked Christmas tree lane with our friends the Wilkinson's. (minus a few)  The kids had a fun time counting dogs on the walk.  Such a fun night!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree...how lovely are your branches

Every year I envision a beautifully decorated tree, full of ribbons and bows, matching ornaments...but, that is not the tree of the Briners. :) The boys are always so excited to decorate the tree! They love going through the ornaments, and remembering them. This year Ethan loved being able to hang them on his own.

This year Eric did also get me a small flocked tree, that I decorated in blue and silver. It was really fun "foofing" it up...but there is nothing like our family tree!
