There was a break in the rain, so we went to the tree farm. There are no big trees there anymore, as the place is now too well known. The trees don't have a chance to grow up! We found a nicely shaped little tree that suits us just fine.
Zoe found a nice one as soon as she stepped out of the car. Vincent was willing to explore further afield. A highlight was the friendly, fluffy cat who approached us looking for pets. The kids were very willing to oblige.
Once again, we enjoyed the tire swing and the porch swing and the cider and cookies. The wood stove was going on the covered porch, but it was too warm out to properly appreciate a fire. Our tree is up and simply decorated, just lights, tinsel, and a string of beads. It's too small to support much more, and besides, I don't want the dog to eat my favorite ornaments.

Your tree is perfect! The adventure of going to the farm each year will be a good shared memory for Z & V when they are much older.
I agree with Mom, nice tree, just perfect. :) Very easy to break down after the holidays. It is such a fun tradition that you go to the farm each year, I love to hear about it and see the pictures. Zoe patting her daddy's back last year, Vincent watching attentively as he cuts the tree down, fluffy kitty's that need petting. It's good stuff!
I agree with Megan and Lorna!! It is a great tree and an even better tradition! Tradition trumps tree! Pat
