This year we decided against going to the snow for a Christmas Tree. It is hard with three kids and let alone FREEZING! We will save our trips to the snow for Trinity Lake where there a perfect sledding hill and a house with a warm fire. The kids had a blast at the tree lot. Julain and Jocelyn ran around and hid from eachother! We picked out a 6 1/2 foot tree. The kids also helped hang the decorations this year. Take note of the picture of the tree decorated. Now with all the pulling on ornaments and candy canes it is basically decorated top half only! Thats what we get when there is little ones in the house.
