Jim's mom used to stick her tongue out like this!!! :-)
She is feeling the needles with her head!


We went to our normal Christmas Tree farm (Sunset Tree Farm) today. We got up early to go and packed up REALLY warm clothing. It's normally very cold there and sometimes raining. We stopped by Starbucks and got each of us a coffee. Brian ended up with a COLD carmel frappacino. He said he loved 'em!!! We got there and it was sunny and very warm. Jim was so hot he had to roll up his sleeves. 
The boys and Audrey sat on the gravel to pose for us. Then the boys went and got a saw and we were off. It seems like every year, we find the perfect Christmas tree and this was one of those wonderful years yet again. We always pick out more than one so that we can go pick which one we want. The kids always have so much fun picking out the Christmas tree because each year they get a chance to help out by cutting it down.
This year, Audrey loved the feel of the trees. While the boys were busy cutting the tree with the saw, she sat down beside one of them and kept trying to rub her head against the needles. She kept saying needles, needles. It was so adorable. She is also walking more with help. We love to hold her hands and help her along and you can just see the joy on her face when she is walking!
The boys got the tree cut down and we then went to strap it onto the top of the van. We got back to the van and the boys went inside to get some hot apple cider. They love going in there and looking around. The owners have other things there to for purchasing. We never get anything, but it is always fun looking. When Jim finished strapping the tree to the top of the van we were off. We stopped at McDonald's on the way home and got some breakfast! The boys loved it and had a wonderful day....we all had a wonderful day (so far). It's so much fun getting our Christmas tree with the family. It's up in the mountains and oh so much fun!!!
Today was such an awesome day.............We're gonna get busy decorating now. Hope you enjoyed the pictures!

So glad you had good family time! Your posts about Audrey always amaze me - what she does, how well she is talking now, her interaction with Jim and others. Wow. It's awesome how children are so resilient! God's GOOD!
