Last weekend we went to go pick out a Christmas tree at a farm out in Tualatin (they also have delicious fresh pressed cider and homemade donuts). We got a beautiful Noble Fir and Collin was excited to put the ornaments up and reach to plant the star at the very top of the tree. I love the smell of fresh pine needles and seeing the twinkle of the lights at night. I'm debating putting the wrapped gifts under the tree before Christmas as I'm not sure a little boy could resist trying to get a sneak peak, but we'll see...
Our Christmas agenda consists of finishing up our shopping, baking cookies, driving around in pajamas to look at Christmas lights, visiting Santa and having milk and cookies at the Children's Museum, and hosting Christmas dinner (with help from family!) And of course the holidays give me even more photo opportunities. In case you couldn't tell I've become obsessed with my new hobby and love playing around with my macro lens, experimenting with bokeh and am still trying to achieve that perfect glowy Christmas tree photo.
Meanwhile my ever-expanding stomach is running out of room for baby Milo. He wiggles and sometimes chooses a position that causes me to gasp out in pain. Luckily for the most part I'm still sleeping pretty well and feeling good. Trying not to panic over the fact that he'll most likely be here in about 10 weeks!
