Tree hunt!

Off to the Christmas Tree Farm we go! Although we don't have a 'house' this year I still wanted to have the experience of the farm! I have been going with with my family since I was young...a tradition I continued with Bob, and then Morgan...I just had to take RJ for his first farm experience! (I took Morgan when she was less than a month old her first time!) It was absolutely frigid with bone chilling winds...but that wasn't going to stop me! Morgan got all bundled up from head to toe and then some...I borrowed a big jacket that my brother had left at the house (I think he used it for skiing) big enough that after RJ was in the Bjorn I zipped the jacket up around him! Perfect...nice and warm...and he ended up falling asleep (another plus!).
.
Morgan loved walking around and checking out the trees! She wanted to help pick the tree and helped carry some cut branches that we gathered for cemetery wreaths we make every year. We all looked like stuffed marshmallows but we were warm!
.
MeMom and PopPop found a tree they like without too much effort and then we were off to get it tied up!
.
We got in the car and warmed up with the heat kicked on full blast and Christmas songs dancing on the radio!
.
What a wonderful day!!
