'Tis the Season!

Last weekend we went to a Christmas Tree farm and cut down our tree. This was more than your average tree farm, as it had hay rides, a tractor-driving Santa, and all kinds of activities for kids. It was a blast!! Mommy's favorite were the rocking reindeer--wooden and iron reindeer that rock like rocking horses. They were AWESOME and could be ridden by kids and parents! Here's Ben giving one a whirl...





There were also hay horses to ride!



After what seemed like hours and miles spent walking and searching, we found the perfect tree!! It's a variety of redwood, and is really beautiful. Daddy cut it down while Ben "hupped" (helped) by sprinkling sand and gravel around.


The tree is great... the star on top keeps tipping over and Ben likes to pull down the bottom string of lights... overall, we think it's a spectacular tree!!


Happy Holidays!!!
