Christmas Tree Hunting

This past Saturday--a VERY cold, cold day by any standard--we decided to go Christmas tree hunting. So we got all bundled up and headed, first, to Starbuck's to get fuel. You'll be happy to know, daddy, Simone loves their scones.

Then we headed out to Snicker's Gap Farm, where just about everyone in the tri-state area was.

And we all climbed up the hill, looking for the perfect blue spruce, as usual.

Simone lobbied hard for this one! Christel and Wendy went deep in the forest...
And emerged with THIS one... Simone, of course, helped pull it back ;-)

And we ended our adventure with our typical stop for lunch at Tuscarora Mill. Simone had mashed potatoes and turkey. Mommy had shrimp and grits, you would have loved. There's always next year.
