Christmas Tree

Sunday we went to a local Christmas tree farm and got our tree. It was such a fun experience; they just gave us a saw and we wondered all over the field until we found the "Skalet Family Christmas Tree." Henry slept the whole time and Norah wondered all around looking for that perfect 6 foot tree. Once we found it, Joel cut it down and carried it to the main isle, and stood proudly next to his pine while we waited for a guy to come load it on the trailer. Joel and a guy who worked at the farm tied the tree to the top of the car while Norah and I enjoyed some hot apple cider in the little holiday shop. Sounds fair to me.....

I of COURSE forgot my camera at home so we just got a couple pics from Joel's phone of the whole experience. Sorry there aren't more pictures of the kids, I guess Joel and I felt like the kids on Sunday! We were both first-timers and so excited to go find our tree... I think we are going to make it a tradition




Norah's watching Joel take the tree off the car! She was so excited when the tree was finally in the house.




We had such a great weekend and WOW, what a great time of year! We'll get more pics of the tree once we finish decorating it. Last year Norah was a little too young to get excited about snow and lights and Christmas music but, this year she points and squeals and hollers out whenever she sees anything Christmas related. She loves dancing to Christmas music (which we listen to pretty much all day, everyday). Her joyful heart is truly a blessing to us.
