Each year, the Westminster fire department delivers Santa in a fire truck to select houses full of kids. The boys love going to their cousins' house for this tradition and can't wait to give Santa their Christmas lists!

Our Christmas tree!

Not the greatest photograph but it was the best I could get without washing it out with a flash!

We spent much of the day shopping for new Christmas tree lights. We weren't impressed with anything we found so we just went with our same old lights!

After having an artificial Christmas tree all my life, we decided to get a real one this year. It was fun looking at the different trees, drinking hot cocoa and eating candy canes. Next year, we will head to the mountains and chop one ourselves!

Another bird-related photo, lol! I had a 30% off coupon at the bookstore so I bought myself a couple of bird books. There's a few more I would like but I'll save those for my Christmas list ;)

I decided to add a second feeder to my backyard. This one is bigger and has two side slots for suet. We'll see if I can attract some new birds to photograph!
