christmas tree hunting has recently become one of our thanksgiving traditions … in fact, i think last year was the very first. however, it was such a fun thing to do thanksgiving morning, we figured we would give it a second try and yep, round two was another success. this year, we picked the smallest and scrawniest tree we could because of space constraints but it’s actually one of my favorites. i can’t wait to show you her all lit up and decorated. below you will find some photos of our thanksgiving adventure … you are welcome to take a look 🙂 juder, was such a serious bug while picking the tree. he had such an earnest and focused face the whole time and gave one-hundered percent of his attention to touching every single branch he saw. such a sweet guy that one and not to mention, full of character.

and every night when dad works late and the sun begins to set, mama and baby come home, take kramer out, and then come in from the cold, removing their knits and heavy coats that have kept them warm during the hustle and bustle of the busy day.

they remove their shoes, stretch their feet, turn on portable heaters, and browse through records until their eyes catch the perfect up-beat album to wind down the day.

this is what breakfast looks like just about every day at our house. a giggly baby, a drooling kramer, a hungry mama, a chocolate stained bed, and one of the best chocolate chip cookies i’ve ever eaten … and vegan at that. have you guys had the vegan chocolate chip cookies from whole foods???? if you haven’t, run to you local store right this moment and treat yourself to one … or a dozen because trust me you’ll want more. if you have the self control to hold off devouring it until you get home, zap it in the microwave for ten seconds and you will have a few moments of heaven. and … if you want to take your experience up a level, while you are at whole foods, pick up some apple cider and drink it cold with your warm cookie. i may be crazy, but i think they go perfectly together. the end.
