Christmas 2013
Picking the tree:
Our first attempt was a false start. Everyone was cranky, tired, and cold and the lot didn't have the tree we were looking for. The next day we were all adequately fed and happy. It was a gorgeous day and we tried a new lot. It just so happened that Santa and his reindeer were visiting and they had the perfect tree. It has been my favorite tree.
