our Christmas tree

Tuesday night we set out to find our family tree-not quite as "dramatic" as the Grizwolds, but exciting nonetheless! Arlan had brought home a venti hot chocolate from Starbucks so we bundled up Punkers and off we went to The Red Barn here in Morton. It was snowy, cold but fun outing as the workers had our small tree shook, clipped, and bagged in no time at all-so quick in fact, we hardly got to visit the reindeer they have penned up at their site. They even have a small Eli's coffee stand on weekends-I highly recommend this place!








One will notice, it's a much shorter tree than previous years as we decided not to "fight the fight" and buy a smaller tree so little hands wouldn't touch/pull/play with the tree for the next 4 weeks. It's up on a table so now we will just have to keep her away from the presents! :)
