We transported our Christmas tree from Baker City, OR after celebrating Thanksgiving at Amy and Jeremy's. We had to wrap it very tightly in order to fit inside the car. This is what is looked like when we brought it inside.

all lit and decorated!
For the last three years, we have attended the Camas Tree Lighting Festival. We live only 2 blocks away from the main downtown strip, which makes it really easy and convenient when attending city events. Loads of people come and parking can be insane, but we are lucky enough to just step right outside our door!
The lighting of the 40 foot tree is accompanied by some pretty impressive fireworks
After the lighting, fake snow (soap bubbles) comes pouring out
Brodie and Camden
On the first Saturday of December, we gathered at Brodie's parents for the annual chocolate making event. Typically all of the Heppler women (Brodie's grandma, mom, aunts, and cousins) get together for the day and spend hours dipping handmade fondant melted chocolate. This year we were low on numbers and Brodie jumped in to save the day!
What a cute chocolate maker :)
Another annual tradition is to go to downtown Portland for Tuba Christmas. Loads of tuba players from the area come together to play Christmas music in Pioneer Square. Cohan, Brodie's brother, has played the last few years, and we love coming to listen and support. This was the first year it wasn't raining. Hallelujah!
