Friends and Christmas Tree Hunting

Last week I was able to visit with a friend of mine and her little boy Jett.  I know Jen through her mom who taught 1st grade with me.  I am also really good friends with her mom Mary and it was so fun to visit with both of them!

It was fun to get the little boys together, but probably more fun for us to visit.  They are exactly one month apart.  Jett was born July 16th. Calin and Jett were not on the same schedule and so most of the afternoon they were taking turns napping, eating, being cranky, being happy, etc.  Right before I left we managed to catch a few pictures of both of them in a good mood!  It was so fun to see them and we look forward to more visits and play dates when they are down from Salt Lake!

Happy babies playing together! 

Jett grabbed Calin's hand and they laid there like this for a while.  So cute! They are buds! 

Jen also took some really cute pictures of Calin for me!  I am so excited with how they turned out!  THANKS JEN!! I am waiting to share them though until after Christmas! ;) Here's one she snapped of Calin and I.  

On Saturday Robby, Calin and I went up to Pine Valley to hunt for a Christmas tree.  I had not planned the morning very well and so as soon as we got up there I had to feed Calin. Robby started the hunt though while Calin ate.  Then we all wandered around the mountain looking for a tree that was a good shape, big enough to not be a Charlie Brown tree, small enough that Robby could carry it back by himself, and something we both liked.  We found a couple of options but then decided on one that was close to a dirt road so Robby did not have to carry it too far.

We also enjoyed Robby's family tradition of hot chocolate and donuts after we found the tree.  Calin was a trooper as always!  He slept in the Baby Bjorn all wrapped up in blankets with Robby carrying him for most of the tree hunting.  Due to my lack of planning that morning, he was still in his pajamas.  However, I think that was a good thing cause it kept him warmer!  It was a fun Saturday outing and we are glad to have our tree up and decorated!  Yea for the Christmas season!
