Post of Christmas Past #3

In the picture above, my family went to the Christmas tree farm and snagged a giant tree. Jon was in a wonderful mood and we tromped around trees and talked about them. He had never seen so many Christmas trees before. Two huge dogs were running around and practically knocked us off of our feet. Usually, Jon isn't very fond of dogs but he played with these and was laughing one of those laughs that come out when you're being tickled. The ones that are unavoidable and reflexive. The ones you can't control.

There is nothing like Jon Christian getting excited for the holidays. This year, my mom contemplated not putting up one of our trees (we usually have four). Since Andy and I are never there and Jon isn't really capable of helping assemble our artificial one, she wasn't going to put it up this year. When Jon heard that, he sort of had a melt down. He values tradition just as much as the rest of us and knows that Christmas isn't Christmas without ALL of the trimmings. 

I can't wait to start counting down the days till Christmas with my main man.
