OH Christmas Tree!

Well....last year, we got our tree in the pouring rain. This year we decided that a blustery blizzard was at least one notch above that experience, so off we went - the whole kit and kaboodle!

We went to our most favorite place in the whole wide world - Piper Mountain! We love it there. Normally, they have horse and buggy rides, homemade hot apple cider and homemade donuts to offer their buyers.

This year, the whole place was barren. We couldn't for the life of us figure out why....

No biggy. We had the run of the place to ourselves! So, off we trudged.

Once we got to our tree of choice, this is pretty much what Kaden did the rest of the time. He was pooped from his walk.

Jesse maintained a respectable distance. He quite vividly remembers last year when he got in the way while Daddy was chopping the tree down and he got taken totally and completely OUT. It was amazing. And very hilarious.

But the boys bucked up and became big men and tried to help Daddy lug the thing back to the car....

...until they fell into a sinkhole and got buried in a snowdrift.

And here she is! What a beaut! We shall see just how long she stays upright with a wee little toddler in the house this year. It's first for us to have a little one at this age. It could get interesting!

She's a beaut! How strange that the tree farm was unusually quiet...perhaps they figured no one would be crazy enough to come out in a blizzard? :-)
