December Thus Far

We went to cut down our Christmas tree on a 20 degree day! It was soooo cold. Elias had the right idea.



We had a brief meltdown because of hunger, so after a brief talk with daddy, we feasted on hot dogs.




We are always happier with food in our bellies.



It took only about 2.1 seconds to locate this year's "perfect tree". It is amazing how freezing temperatures can really heighten your senses.


We are actually laughing because we have decided to abandon Matt to chop down the tree, while we find a hot cup of cocoa.


Later this month we realized Elias watches too much television. Here is Elias imitating Sean from Hi-5 riding a horse.




Yesterday, we went on a Christmas adventure in State College. The library had a reading of the Polar Express and then a "train" ride.


Elias was very excited for the ride.


However, he is not a big fan of posed photographs.



That being said, if Miss Amy, is taking his picture than he is all smiles. He loves Miss Amy.


Final destination, Santa! I think this poor Santa was more tramatized than Elias.
