christmastime is HERE!!!!

hello!
i hope your weekend has been and continues to be beautiful.  the day after thanksgiving every year has always been one of my favorite days, but for some reason this year, yesterday wasn't the most wonderful.  not for any big reason really or because of anyone, just an off day for me.  but that's life, huh?  even on christmas-tree-decorating day!
i still really enjoyed picking out a tree with my fam, and here are some pics from the day.  taking pictures and documenting moments is so life-giving to me.
​and i can officially start saying, MERRY CHRISTMAS!  what good news.  happy christmas season!

^^ this cute family was singing hand in hand around their christmas tree!  haha!

ohhh dahh paaaige!  wish the lil nug was always around.  
...haha, also may or may not have tried to wrestle her into the snow while we were out there because she was bugging me. #stillmyfavnug

^^ there was a GRINCH!  way better than santa claus, if you ask me.  thought of holland and ariel the whole time!

cute tree farm!

^^ momma doin what she does best!  she makes everything beautiful.

^ and the tree that she made a few years ago.  i'm so proud of and inspired by the creativity of my parents that fills the whole house!  haha, even right now as i type this my parents are creating giant ornaments out of colorful bouncy balls and tin cans to hang on the outside of the house.  i hope i can be as cool as them when i grow up.
man, i love creativity!
praise Jesus for every good thing this season represents and brings.

(our christmas decorating last year HERE, 2014 HERE, and 2013 HERE!  always fun to look back.)
