So after my post about different ideas for Christmas trees, I asked Nels what he thought we should do and showed him a couple of alternatives.
We both like all of them, but in the end, wouldn't you know it -- we chose to go get our own tiny tree. :)
It was such a fun day! Hazel had been invited to a birthday party that day, so she opted to miss out on finding the tree with us, but before she needed to be to the party we had time to quickly go take our family Christmas picture all together - which turned out very fun and very cold! :)
SO CUTE! I just love these little Chickies!
After ditching Hazel, we stopped to get some quick grub at Taco Bell and headed down the road.
I was freshly amazed at how beautiful this place is. It is so fun to go driving down some of the back country roads through the mountains. There is a plethora of pines and finding a little, perfectly shaped tree wasn't difficult at all.
By the time we were ready to go grab our little beauty, however, the youngest three had passed out, so it was just me, Nels, and Lilie. It was fun and not nearly so exciting as last year - no sledding, no real trudging :) - but it was calm, beautiful, and really sweet.
It was really fun to have some special time with my Lilie. She was so cute, completely enthralled with the ice crystals that the fog had made all over everything, and totally happy to have the quiet alone time with Mama and Daddy. It was a really great day!
