Christmas Tree

Taking full advantage of living in an agricultural state, we went to a true Christmas Tree farm this year. Alden picked out his favorite (above) while dad picked out his favorite (below).

After driving home with the tree (barely) tied to the roof of our car with twine, we discovered that was enormous, much to the delight of both boys...

Merry Christmas!
