Another year, another tree!

For the 8th straight year, we made the hike out to the tree farm to hunt the perfect Christmas tree. Once again, we scored a lovely blue spruce that we cut and drug with Simone's help. We started off with some hot apple cider and then made the climb and begun the hunt. After about an hour, we settled on one about6 ft tall and perfectly manicured.

It was a long drag back to the barn but Simone was a trooper both uphill and down.

And her reward was a peppermint candy that made her happier than any old tree ever could!

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year Simone was lucky enough to get to spend Thanksgiving with all of her grandparents at our house. Yes, she got more than a little spoiled but that's what grandparents are for, I suppose. She was very excited to wear her new Thanksgiving dress that, coincidentally, coordinated with the table linen. LOL!

The turkey was nearly too pretty to cut, but no worries, we did.

Clearly we were too busy eating and shopping to get many pictures of the kick off to our holiday season, but it was great!
