Advent Day 21

Yesterday we realized at the last minute that if we didn't get to our in-town tree farm, we'd have to wait more than a week to get our tree. So we woke the kids up from their naps, bundled up, and headed out for a little tree-cutting.  We went to this same family farm a couple of years ago, and they didn't disappoint - a lovely place with good cheer served up with your tree, along with a cookie for the kids in their cozy little pay-when-you-cut shack.  We had fun weaving in and out of the trees deciding which one we'd take home.  Pender loved playing peek-a-boo in between the rows, and Myrick enjoyed some non-stop chatting as usual while she helped us look.  Perfectly timed, as we were the last customers of the day before they closed for the week!
