oh christmas tree

The saturday after thanksgiving, we went out to a treefarm off Seabeck highway (Enebo trees) and selected one from their "sale lot" (they were trying to clear the lot for future use). We let Jamie pick and help cut the tree, then he even helped to carry back to the car. Before putting it in dad's truck, they put it in the shaker machine. Abby did not like the shaker machine, commenting that it was too loud. She just wanted to go back to the car because it was really cold outside and she had a dress on!





A few days later we decorated the tree and the kids had a blast doing that, especially when they found an ornament that belonged to them.




And we finished the evening off with homemade cinnamon rolls. (For those who have the artisan bread cookbook - I highly recommend using the broiche dough for the base of your cinnamon rolls, these were the best I've ever made!)
