THANKSGIVING WEEKEND TRADITION

EVERY YEAR ON THANKSGIVING WEEKEND WE GO TO THE TREE FARM AND PICK OUT AND CUT DOWN OUR CHRISTMAS TREE. THIS YEAR IT WAS JUST PHILIP AND I AND THE LITTLE GIRLS. THEY WERE BUMMED BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SNOW YET. AS THEY WERE EXPRESSING THEIR DISAPPOINTMENT (COMPLAINING) ABOUT THE NO SNOW ON OUR TREE ADVENTURE DAY....IT STARTED SNOWING! A VERY WET SNOW!!! SO...THEY WERE HAPPY ABOUT THE SNOW COMING DOWN, BUT WE ALL WERE VERY WET AND COLD AFTER OUR OUTING! IT WAS STILL SO MUCH FUN TO SEE THEIR EXCITEMENT WITH FINDING "JUST THE RIGHT TREE" AND DOING ALL OF THE FUN THINGS AT THE TREE FARM!
