out of order- Christmas tree outing

My mom just emailed the photos from our Christmas tree outing with Malakai that I mentioned a few posts back. His first time choosing a tree. It wasn't all that glamorous- we just went to a regular old lot. Usually it takes a very long time, especially with my mother choosing a tree but this year it somehow only took 15 minutes! Next year, when Malakai is big enough to enjoy it, we'll take him to a u-cut farm with hay rides and hot cocoa ( and stupidly expensive trees).

Cody brought along a friend and since Ben had Malakai in tow, he took over the job of "twirling" the trees so we could see all sides

I tucked this little sprig in with Kai, it'll go in his keepsake box later.
