Christmas tree hunting {2014}
Oklahoma has wild weather.
70s one day.
Below freezing the next.
We don’t put summer clothes up and we really don’t have good winter gear. Saturday the weather was gorgeous, which means ‘warm’. We took advantage of the warm weather before the temperature dropped again, to go get our Christmas tree. There is only one time a year that I always repeat a photo – us at the Christmas tree farm with our tree. It just brings up all kinds of emotions to see this photo through the years.
Oh hey, it looks like 2013 and 2014 are the years of the Target cardigan for me. It’s my favorite. And as I look closely, it looks like 2011 was a cardigan year too. Obviously, I’m not a big shopper. Long live embroidered flowers on cardigans. Maybe I will make this my ‘tree hunting cardigan’. I could wear it every year from here on out. Or not. Or maybe.
We decided to take Arley (the puppy) this year. The tree farm welcomes dogs on leashes and we want to train her to go places with us…so along she came. So, I guess we added another to the photo this year. Chris said next year we might as well bring the chickens and the cat.

“Mom, let’s take a picture pretending like someone stole our favorite toy.” – the 6 year old.
I pretended like someone stole all my spray paint.

This makes me happy.

They pick out a tree because they know I like it. Really, they prefer the running in and out among the trees and gravel road races.
