We found out just a little late that we could cut a tree in the mountains. We needed a permit to go on the specific day we wanted to go on. I also learned later that trees in the forest droop a little more than trees at the 'farm.' I really miss our tradition of cutting down a tree at Hunter Tree Farm. I miss the red tractor, seeing Santa, getting cookies and hot chocolate, taking a hay ride, making ornaments, and riding on a horse. This time we didn't know where to go so we found a tree farm close by. At first I thought we would get to saw our own tree but then found out that they just had them staked up. We looked around for a nice soft one that was a good size. The day was beautiful but a bit windy at times. We walked around for a little while then decided on a nice one. Lincoln had some hot chocolate that could burn your tongue off. We had to wait awhile before he could drink it. They also got to have a small treat and a candy cane. Not too bad but maybe next year we will go to the mountains.
I put this picture on just because it's funny. Parker and Lincoln always want to sit by dad. They crowd around him on both sides leaving very little room to use his arms. They love it. I love it. These days won't be here forever so it's good to enjoy them while we have them.
