Our slightly crooked Christmas tree - notice some extra orniments at the bottom?

Happy Holidays! This weekend was filled with lots of family fun! We went on Saturday with Aunt Erica and Uncle Patrick to buy our family Christmas tree! The event started off with a quick stop at Caribou Coffee for some much needed energy. We then made the snowy treck up to the Rum River Tree farm (a tradition for the Johnson family!) to select our tree. Since it was sooo cold in the morning, we decided not to make the kids wander around the tree farm for the perfect one to cut down. Instead we selected a pre-cut one, and it is beautiful! So we tossed it in Erik's truck and brought it home. Then on Sunday we decorated it after church. Myles did a wonderful job hanging the decorations on the tree, and only broke 2 of them! :) He tends to hang about 5 on one branch, so I plan on doing some rearranging tonight after he is in bed (a little trick my mom used to do when we were kids!). Erik got the ladder and was able to stick the angel on the top - Myles was excited about that. Holly slept through the whole thing. Maybe next year she will participate! Then this afternoon Myles came with me to the store and got Holly a Christmas present that we will wrap together one of these upcoming evenings. So right now we are relaxing on the couch watching a Mickey Mouse Holiday movie. I love the christmas season! Hope you enjoy the pictures!
