We went to pick out our Christmas tree today with Tom, Karen, Zac, Jenna, and all of our kiddos. The sun was nice, but the wind was miserable. We were not dressed warm enough. I found our tree first - it was about 20 feet from our car, but everyone (Tom, Karen, Zac, and Tim) were determined that the best tree would be over the next hill. So we hiked around a bit until everyone was completely frozen and went right back to where we started. Of course, my original first pick was taken by this time, but we found another one close by.The boys rode the train, we drank some hot chocolate and defrosted inside, and then headed home with our prize.
The boys "helped" decorate the tree. Many of the ornaments got played with before they made it to the tree, and only one broke. Tim and I subtly moved the ornaments around so that they were not all on the bottom branches. :) End result - a beautiful tree. Now, all I need is a warm cup of hot chocolate, a good book, and some sleeping kiddos....
