ohh Christmas Tree, oh Christmas Tree




we have our tree...our Christmas tree! Yes, we are one of those families that loves to put the tree up shortly after Thanksgiving...The stockings are hung by the chimney, little Santa and snow people all around the house. And the tree adventure is once again behind us! This year it was nice. Considering last year we cruised up the mountain on a cold winter day, Jody pulled out the chainsaw..pointed to one from afar the car where I stayed with sleeping boys, chopped it and that was that!! This year with fresh snow on the ground we wandered up the mountain (shhh) we went on the hunt! We parked the car, pulled the kids by sled and found our tree! The boys loved the sled ride, seemed impartial to the tree, but loved seeing it hang over the car..A BIG tree 12ft tall or so...just fits up the vaulted ceilings!! Now it is decorated and every night when the lights go on Cedar runs around the house turning off all the lights to stare in glory at the beautiful tree!!
