We had a great weekend! There is a tree farm a few miles from our house. We got the trailer hitched to the SUV and off we went. Bing was singing "White Christmas" and we had our hot chocolate and home baked cookies ready to enjoy after the perfect tree was found.
I've posted pictures from our day. The very top picture is the finished product. Our beautiful tree is decorated, primarily, with homemade ornaments. There is something so special about seeing the once tiny faces of Dana and Daniel dangling cheerfully on the lovely green branches. Dana's baby Jesus that she made in kindergarten graces our table. Someone once asked me why we put out that turd in a pot but WE know it is Baby Jesus! :)
The next picture is of Denny and Dan standing next to the tree. The roles have changed. It used to be Denny cutting down the tree with Dan holding it. This year Dan did the honors. He did a fine job too!
The third picture is of me and the kids after the tree was "baled". We gathered around the trailer and I poured everyone hot chocolate.
The last picture shows Denny holding a very slim candy cane. He used it as a stirrer for his chocolate. There is a reason I posted this close up.
His hair is growing back a different color! He used to be auburn with blondish, red eyebrows. Now, his eyebrows are black and his hair is salt & pepper!
We are all looking forward to the holidays and seeing all of our family. It is TRULY a Wonderful life! Hee Haw!
Love to all,
Deb
