'Tis the Season

I was more than ready to get Christmas decorations up and to start celebrating this year.

There is a cute town called Skaneateles not too far away that has an annual Charles Dickens Christmas Festival.
We went with some of our friends and their kids and enjoyed the fun festivities

We still wanted a picture with Santa!

cute Graham with the Hollbrooks

The girls watching them act out A Christmas Carol

Posing by the horse and carriage ride that we decided against waiting in line for an hour

The Christmas tree at the end of the pier

And of course sing along caroling at the center of town!

I decided that we were getting a Christmas tree this time, after having our ornaments hung on the chandelier last year!

Ben and I found a tree farm and decided to go for it

It was a bit chilly so we bundled up, me in Ben's jacket, and went to find the perfect tree

After much contemplating we found the "closest to perfect" tree.
Ben got to saw it down like a real man!

And carry it as well

They got it all bundled up nicely for us and somehow it managed to fit in our car!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

LOVE,
THE LEWIS'
