A visit to the Christmas tree farm

Over the Thanksgiving weekend we went to a Christmas tree farm with my parents and cut down a tree to take back to CT with us. I hadn't planned on getting a tree this year for a number of reasons, but there were lots of tiny sized trees that were perfect for our tiny sized apartment and we couldn't resist. It was late afternoon and Nate hadn't had a nap all day so I was worried that he'd either fall asleep on the ride there or be in a foul mood, but he ended up having a wonderful time as you'll be able to see by his big smile in every picture.

The perfect tree

yay!

Nate's first candy cane--a real hit! (well, until he choked on some of the plastic wrapper)

Still playing catch up

We had a great Thanksgiving weekend and I've got the pictures to prove it, but I am still playing catch up here. Jessie and Tim got married on Nov. 6 and it's about time that I got some pictures up. The wedding was covered extensively on Sarah's blog so check that out for some quality pictures and narrative.
