I know a lot of you likely do the Aluminum tree thing, as that is pretty retro, and well, we are all pretty retro. I however, love the thrill of the hunt for the perfect tree, that fills my house with a aromatic pine scent. It feels especially christmas-y in my house at the moment, the new tree is by the fireplace with stockings and ornaments.
We took the kids up to the mountain where there is a delightful tree farm with a warm bonfire blazing, and hot cocoa for all. We picked our tree and the kids had cocoa and candy canes by the fire. I kicked the mud off of my high heel shoes, while all the mountain ladies looked at me like I was pure mad for wearing a skirt & petticoat to the tree farm. My hair was once in victory rolls which started to fall out when we got there, but you get the idea...
(click to enlarge.)The full tree in decorated glory, and home-made stockings post will be up tomorrow. Sorry friends, you are going to have to wait. For now, enjoy the sassy little kids and my lopsided victory rolls!
