Christmas Tree Day III

It's Christmas Time!! Jesse and I love Christmas and all the joy filled traditions, the time spent with family, the yummy treats, the giving of presents, and the happiness that fills our souls.













The Simpson and Wyzga family traveled up to Pine Valley Farms to pick and cut down the winning tree! We disappeared in a forest of Douglas firs, sizing up all of the choices, and marking the ones we liked with fallen leaves. Unbeknown to us, the Wyzga's picked the first living tree they saw and were done in 10 minutes. We were undeterred by their haste, broke the news to them that we would be at least another hour, and continued looking for the world's greatest tree. We stumbled upon a group of trees called Canaan firs and quickly gathered up our leaves. We scoured the hill side and 20 minutes later emerged from the tree field victorious!








After the tree was shaken half to death and tied up, we strapped it to the roof and drove it back to our house. There, we enjoyed home made and decorated sugar cookies with the Wyzga fam. It was a great day and a great start to the Christmas season!
