Decorating the Christmas Tree — 2021
Once we got the tree home from the tree farm and washed off, it was time to bring it in, un-bale it, then decorate it. We all joined in on the fun!

Fetching the Christmas Tree — 2021
With all the closures this year, last Sunday we decided to head into the hills to the same tree farm we’d gone to in 2010 and 2011. And we would have, except for that one final wrong turn. We saw the sign for a tree farm and its “Reservations Required” addition. We had no reservations.…

Christmas Tree, 2020 edition
As is our tradition, we headed off into the hills to cut down our Christmas tree. The farm we’ve gone to the last few years is closed to U-cut this year, so we tried a different farm. After tramping through acres of too-short trees, we took a look at the trees they’d already cut. So…

A decorated tree — 2019

A decorated tree
After getting the tree home yesterday, we washed it, shook it, and left it outside to dry. Then we put it in a stand in a different corner of the room than usual. Lights, ribbons, candy canes, and an angel later, we paused to take it all in. Mmm… It’s a little taller than we’d…

Fetching the Christmas Tree, 2018
We waited longer than usual to get our Christmas tree this year. Our preferred day is the Sunday after Thanksgiving. That didn’t work this year because of our family reunion. The next weekend we were in Salt Lake City. And Suzi worked last weekend. So, today was the day, and it was perfect — if…

Waiting for my drink, I looked out the window.
