The Days Leading Up to Christmas

The Sunday after Thanksgiving our family headed over to Bronson for our annual Christmas tree selection.  Now with the new house we had a higher ceiling clearance, so we knew we were clear for up to a 12 foot tree.

Olivia's choice for our tree.

Mia's choice.  Needless to say, Olivia's choice won out.
 

We also bundled up and headed to our annual Christmas in the City in downtown Sturgis the first Saturday of December.  The girls and I enjoyed a little shopping and some hot drinks from Great Lakes before the chilly wait in line to meet Santa.

Thankfully our wait wasn't too long and the girls popped right up there eager to tell the big guy their requests.  Mia only wanted a glow pet, while Olivia requested some Crayola craft items and a pillow pet.

After telling Santa what they desired they were still up for a sleigh ride.  Grandma and Grandpa, do you recognize the house in the background?  It was a fun prelude to the celebration of Jesus' birth.
