Oh Christmas Tree, how lovely are your branches
















Our annual outing to Brewery Hill near LeSueur to get our christmas tree was a fun one indeed. It had snowed, it was some what warm out, we weren't crabby, we were rested and ready to have a good 'ol tree hunt. Natalie fell asleep about 5 minutes before we arrived and slept thru most of it. We put her in a sled and she didn't even stir! We must have looked at a million trees and they all started looking the same after 10 minutes of searching. "was this the one?", "no I think it was this one" and so on. You get the drift! Finally after 30 minutes of fun in the snow, our toes and fingers getting a little cold, we decided on "the one". Rachel was more excited about getting apple cider than she was about the tree! On our way back we stopped at Whiskey River for some hot soup and the view of the wild turkeys, cardinals and birds. It was such a fun day! Decorating the tree was also fun. The girls get so excited about their ornaments we've collected over the years and anxiously wait to find out what we've gotten for them this year. Natalie was super excited about the lights on the trees and wanted to play with the ornaments that made noise. She was pretty careful and didn't break a one!
