The Christmas Tree

We went to Piney Acres Farm to get the perfect tree this year. It was a beautiful snowy day and I was giddy with the excitement of the first real snow of the season. Daddy is still sore from carrying Lizzy because it was snowy and muddy and the ground was uneven, so she refused to walk. Katherine fell asleep in the Moby (what's new?). The place was overwhelmed with business, so we waited for a while for the tractor to ride out and pick our tree, but ended up walking because it was too cold to wait. Good thing Daddy had thought to bring his own saw! The tractor never came, so on the way back in, Daddy carried Lizzy and the tree! While the tree was bagged to be put on the car (Daddy again!), Lizzy, Mommy and Katherine warmed up in the lodge, ate popcorn and drank hot chocolate. Mommy had fun all day, especially pulling out old ornaments to hang on the tree. Daddy liked putting the image of a fire on the TV and listening to holiday music on Pandora Radio through his computer. We are combining the old and the new and making new traditions!
