O Christmas Tree

For many years we have been visiting Evergreen Tree Farm to get our Christmas tree. It is a small tree farm with an old barn where the owner, Glen, serves hot cider and cookies. Our lives have been quite exciting these last few years, and we enjoy talking with Glen and catching up. It was the last Saturday before Christmas, and he had been hoping to see us.

This was the first year that all the kids would be able to get out of the car and participate. We had a major snowstorm that day. By the time we suited everyone up and got in the car we had already lost a few mittens. It was the triplets' first romp in the snow, and both Faith and Joe were unimpressed and wanted to be carried.


Liliana loves this tradition and she went straight to the barn for cookies. Faith stayed in the barn and cried about her lost mitten.

Joe just cried and cried.

Eve spent the whole time playing in the snow.

Eve and Daddy LOVE snow!

Daddy and his two snow bunnies found the perfect tree - small with soft needles.

And Joe cried.

Then we were off to Lili's rehearsal for the Little Angel Choir.


Here is the tree on Christmas morning!
