Fall in December

There are so many perks to living in St. George! But how can I list them without making all of
you jealous? ;) So to keep it short- the weather. I love how it's December down here and really- it feels like autumn.

The leaves are falling which means... we play!

(Check out Lexie’s hair!! I’m especially proud because she’s finally letting

me play with her hair and in these pics she’s sporting a braided crown.

Like a princess of course!)

It's gotten a bit chilly down here so we're finally wearing pants (instead of shorts)...

and it never snows.

Don't get me wrong- I love, love the snow!

It's always nice to play in, but the disadvantages, are not fun!

For instance, I've truly forgotten how freak'n cold the weather is when it snows! Wowzer!

I’ve become such a pansy when we visit family up north. We don't have real winter play clothes for Lexie- coat, snow pants, gloves, boots, so when we do play in the snow, there's

lots of improv involved...

Our family with Shane's dad up Pine Valley (30 minutes away from S. G)- Christmas tree hunting- brrrrrrrrrrrr!

Note: Lexie’s double layer jacket, good-for-nothing gloves, and our favorite item- rain boots!

Our Charlie Brown Christmas tree.

In the forest it looked perfect but when we brought it home and put ONE ornament on and the whole tree tilts.... oops! Better luck picking out a bigger tree next time. :D

Have you and your family gone Christmas tree hunting?
