Just a lil pic of Kiersten decked out in her winter gear. Last week was so cold here. You'll notice a trend with her eyes closed' when we ask for a big smile (we're working on it!). You'll notice I can't center my paragraphs, bold my letters or use colors either, hopefully blogger will work correctly again someday for me. Its annoying for me too!
We made it to the tree farm. This is the same orchard we go to for apple picking & hayrides, they have great deals on trees as well. We were excited to get the children involved.
This is Kiersten sound asleep at the farm, she had the right idea, it was bitter cold outside b/c of the wind.
This is Peter sound asleep...don't worry, I constantly have to push his head up. It's one of the downfalls of falling asleep in a car. He usually doesn't hang over this far.
Pete & I snuck out of the car (luckily you can park right next to the trees) & took a quick look. We found one very quickly & here we are posing for a quick picture! $40 for a 8ft Douglas Fir(I think) and a free half gallon of cider & 6 fresh donuts.
On the roof and ready to go. This is our 3rd year coming to Spicer's Orchards and the first with no snow on the ground. We noticed as we drove back home (Spicer's is about a 40min drive away) that we didn't see too many tree lots this year at all, wonder what the deal is?
We finally got the tree up in the stand, it takes a lot of teamwork btwn Pete & I (some swearing from Pete too), actually quite comical. This tree is about a foot and a half shorter and not as wide as our tree we got last year, but it'll do.
After the tree went up, I had to take a nap. My thyroid condition makes me really tired in the afternoon, I didn't have the energy to start the decor. I had also woken up early & finished the shopping for the kids so I had a really long day. A couple of hours later, we decorated the tree as a family and Peter is doing his happy dance.
On Sunday, I got the kids to pose for a few pictures. I wish I could get her eyes to open just a little, but I did get 2 nice smiles, wouldn't you say?!
Another picture mommy? I'd rather be playing.
Kiersten acting goofing~she looks like a little wild woman with that long hair all over the place!
