It's really starting to feel like Christmas. Last night we picked out our tree at a lot run by the boy scouts. It's not the picture above, but the one below.

After getting our tree we were driving around looking at Christmas lights and found a little Christmas fair going on. Spencer was so thrilled to see reindeer there. He knew what they were right away thanks to our collection of Christmas books that we've been reading lately.

They had several ice sculptures and even someone making them in front of everyone. How exactly do you get into the profession of ice sculpting?

The houses here are gorgeous. The following is a picture of the fire station. Seriously, how many towns have a fire station that looks like this?

Spencer was so excited to go to the library to see Santa today. He kept saying, "Let's go see Santa!" I think he prefers Santa from a distance, though. This is a picture from the 2 seconds he was on Santa's lap. I hope he's not scarred for life.

Speaking of scarring children, maybe that's what we did when we woke Spence up at 4:45 AM last Friday so we could get some good deals. We just went to Target (well, and Old Navy since we were already up) because Brant's Christmas present was there at a great deal (a GPS). Even though it may have looked like child abuse, Spencer actually had a really fun time. Here are my boys putting shoes on so they're ready to shop!

Here's Spencer playing at Old Navy. He looks pretty happy, doesn't he?
