Christmas Tree 2010

After our disappointing experience last year at Marmion, we said that we weren't going to go back this year.  It sounds like we made a good choice because I heard that this year at Marmion was even worse than last year.  So we have been on a hunt to find a new cut your own tree farm, one of our neighbors told us about a place they went to, so we decided to check it out.  We got to go on a hay ride out to the trees, which was fun and Emma liked it, but it was COLD!  We were a little disappointed with the tree selection and I don't think that we'll go back there next year, but we were able to find a tree.  Andrew was pretty excited that they bagged the tree for free and they also had free hot chocolate and a fire to warm up at.  After finding the perfect tree we headed over to Starbucks to get really warmed up.  Emma had her first Starbucks treat (hot chocolate) and she loved it!
