Let the season begin...and begin it has! From trees to decorations, to train rides, cold weather and fun...the month of December came in with a bang and a little ho-ho-holiday spirit.
The Meyer Tree search 2014 took us to Yakima market...and it did not disappoint. We missed our trip to the woods, but with variable #1 (Griffin) and variable #2 (Millicent), we decided that 2014 was a year to stick a little closer to home for the search. Don't worry, 2015 we will be back in the woods in search for the Griswold, I mean Meyer, Family Christmas tree.
My little family ready to find a tree!
The boys were on the hunt and found the perfect tree!
Our holiday festivities took a little break when it was time to watch Apple Cup...but then again, Football works with the holiday (plus a little competitive spirit between husband and wife). The boys were rooting on the Cougars and the girls were rooting for the Huskies!!!
A house divided!
This might be the last smile Rich had that night...Go Huskies!
This might be the last smile Rich had that night...Go Huskies!
As you can see...Chukar and Millie didn't really care too much for the game, but definitely enjoyed their cuddles together.
Sunday morning it was time to put the Apple Cup behind us...have some waffles and start decorating. Griffin is obsessed with "Helping Mommy" and "Helping Daddy" so he got to stir up the waffles.
Ready for SANTA...
Getting ready to decorate and enjoying our first fire of the season...Griffin telling daddy "HOT"!
The tree is up and my little helper put the angel on the top.
Griffin loves the Christmas tree and is starting to figure out the holiday spirit.

Not only did we get our tree up, but so did Grandma Joni and Grandpa Mike...so the kids were excited to check out there stuff. They even have a train!
