Today we headed out to Richardson's Farm to find a Christmas tree. We originally had a Fraser Fir in mind, but we were talked into a Canaan instead. It's a quite lovely tree. I'm not sure it's as fragrant as I would like, but it's hard to tell when you've been in the house with it for a while. It probably goes without saying that Henry loved the tractor ride and the donuts most of all. I was a little concerned when I realized that we actually did have to cut the tree down ourselves, but Pete (you can call him Lumberjack Pete) had that thing down in no time. He tied it to the top of the car all by himself as well! Not that I ever doubted him, but I was pleased when we arrived home and the tree was still with us.

What a pretty Mom and handsome son! What a great Dad! Altogether now...I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK, I sleep all night and I work all day, ..."
Getting trees is the best. Sorry but i'll never get an artificial tree - they suck. And I don't feel bad because they're grown as a renewable resource for that very reason. Yay.
This one should have been titled, "Lovely Little Family Finds Fantabulous Fir..."
p.s. "La petite famille" or "the little family" is a term of familial endearment in French - at least 'round this part of France. It sounds kind of funny in English, for some reason, now that I look at it... Anyway! you all look so beautiful - and your tree does, too!
that photo of henry in snowsuit with donut makes me think of "a christmas story"..."i can't put my arms down!" maybe over the holidays i'll teach him the "how does the piggy go?...how does the piggy eat?" bit. i know you'd love that, betsy...
