Its not big enough!

Today we took our annual trip up to Abel's Farm to cut down our christmas tree. We all got bundled up in our winter clothes since the weather was just about freezing. The kids got to wear their new snow suites on top of several layers of shirts, turtle necks and sweat shirts. Hailey was so excited! This was the first year she was actually able to walk up and down the mountain on her own even in all those bundles of clothes. Joey was bundled and put into Dad's "marathon back pack" as we refer to it and up the mountain we went. I found a tree right away that I liked and when I asked Hailey for her approval she told me "its not big enough". After pointing out several smaller trees she finally agreed to go with the one I had originally picked. Down the mountain we went with our tree for our hot chocolate was waiting. Tree cutting was followed by some good eating at the Daily Planet Diner. Joey slept the entire time we were there which meant that I was able to sit and enjoy my meal. Hailey had a great time sitting at the "kids table" and eating her hot dog and french fries. Home we went to put our tree in the stand and welcome it to our family, at least for the short time it will be with us.
