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)
