While Cody and I were in Oregon for Thanksgiving we decided to have a little mini Christmas since Cody and I wont be there for Christmas. And Cody had to experience going to get a Christmas tree with the Guptill family. So the day after Thanksgiving we went to the tree farm to find the perfect tree. Once we found it we took pictures next to our wonderful tree. Then we all gathered around our tree and held hands to sing our version of "Oh Christmas Tree" I wish I would have recorded the words to it because every year the words kind of change and it is pretty funny to hear what we come up with (or should I say the words my dad come up with). Then we took our tree home and decorated it that night, Cody and I were the chosen ones to put the star on top of the tree, the both of us standing on a stool weren't tall enough to reach the top so my brother John had to help us out! After we were done with the tree my mom passed out our Pajama Pants and we wore them to bed like it was Christmas Eve. Then in the morning we did a little gift exchange and ate our usual Christmas morning breakfast, It was so much fun I loved it. Thanks to my family for doing those things twice so that Cody and I could be part of it. I hope it is just as fun if not funnier on the real Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!
