Tree Time

We love Christmas Trees! Last year we had a paper one, remember? This year we made up for it with three trees (one for the house, one for Elena's room and one with Nana & Big Opa).

We cut our family tree the day after thanksgiving. Gram and Opa were along to supervise. First we drove up to the parkway for a picnic I packed.

It was 32 degrees and the wind was blowing about 20 miles an hour. We ate in the car.

Then on the way home picked up this lovely little beauty from a family tree farm. It only cost us $15! For $25 you could get one of the huge church sized ones in the back log. Gram was busy trying to figure out if a tree qualified as checked baggage.


When we arrived in Maine on Thursday, there was snow! So we got to take elena out for her first snowy tree picking. It should be noted that she does not take after Gram and enjoyed the little jaunt!

I even found the tree this year! Very exciting.

And we made snow angels.
