Over the River and Through the Woods...

...to pick out the perfect Christmas tree!

Each year we go to a family owned Christmas tree farm to pick out our tree.  The owner is a client of Mike's and they really run a great business.  They have beautiful trees, and lots of them.  We often go with "The Cousins".  We found some winner trees.  Both were just a tad too tall for our houses, but a little branch clipper-action corrected that problem quickly.

Here's Teresa, getting ready to go.  Static electricity it lots of fun for her, especially when she is way over due for a haircut.


Molly Grace, riding in her new back-back seat (no she was not crying, she has a bad case of eczema around her eyes and the treatment looks a little greasy).


A few months ago we ordered this Little Passenger seat, so as to make room for Seamus in our Suburban.  It fits in the trunk area of a SUV, and gives us three extra seats.  Of course we loose our trunk space, but oh well, that's what car-top carriers are for.  Here's MG looking out the back.  She and Aidan usually sit in the way-back.

Teresa thinks she spotted our tree...


Well, we did find a great tree.  Pictures will be coming later.  This year's tree is named Robin (they name all trees at this farm).  I wanted to get all of these pictures on the blog before I start with the blizzard pictures.  Whenever we have a snow storm with a name (Allison), you know it's going to dump a lot of snow.  Yep, we already have about a foot, and it will snow all day today....We will have a white Christmas, for sure!
