A Christmas Tradition

 We decided to go pick our Christmas tree out on the coldest/windy day we've had this season, but we were not detered!  Maya has been asking for weeks when Daddy was going to cut down our Christmas tree- she remembered from last year! I love it- a Christmas tradition!!!  So we made the trek across the river and stopped by daddy's work to say hi to his co-workers and the on to the farm....

And she's off!

I want this one!!!

But I want this one!!!

We convince them to keep looking!!

This is fun!!! (He played peek-a-boo most of the time!)

Let me measure this one...

Got it!

Shake it! The owner told Maya the only way to shake the tree was if she shook too!!

Wrap it up!

Happy Girl!!!

One of my favorite Venet Family Christmas traditions growing up- so glad to continue on as a Salter Family tradition!

Maya's Preschool Halloween Party

Jack-o-lantern fruit cups for the party-Lee and I spent the evening before "carving" oranges!

The kids had a costume "parade" down the hall!

Enjoying the snacks!

In deep conversation after the party! ( They all changed out of their costumes to play on the playground)

Pumpkin Carving

 Sky came to visit this weekend, so after a marathon day of wedding planning, we had a little early evening fun carving pumpkins!! Maya was so excited to make a Jack o Lantern, that was until she saw what was inside the pumpkin- see below!

"Can I help?"

As she says, "I don't like that!"

"I'll try it with this"

"EWWWW"
