We took the three little ones to pick the tree. We found a fun place that had a HUGE indoor store of lots of decorations and georgeous decorated trees. Outside were thousands of beautiful cut Christmas trees and fresh wreaths and garlands.
Inside with Comet (or Cupid?)
Outside were some baby goats and lambs.
These snowmen withstood the rain that was falling really well. Although it was cold and wet, the kids didn't mind a bit.
A pretty waterfall - part of it is frozen solid in falling form. 
A single moment when they were all together. Most of the time they played "tag" among the trees. We narrowed the choices down to two different trees - and Cooper and Ivy both voted on a different one. I actually should have been the tie-breaker, but couldn't do it. Ivy was hugging "her" tree and rattling on and on about how that was the one she wanted (Maia did too), and Cooper was insisting that his and dad's tree was "the one." We even had two employees come to try to help with the decision. I said I wasn't having any part of it and walked away. Finally, I took the kids with me and Richard went and picked a totally different tree. Both kids were happy.
The decorated tree. Since we didn't bring any decorations from Utah, we just bought snowflakes and candy canes. Simple and fast! And the kids love it.
