We went on our annual Christmas tree hunt this year the week after Thanksgiving. We decided to go on Saturday because it was supposed to snow that afternoon and we wanted to get it before all the mayhem. It was quite cold that day, which we learned as we got out of the car to look for the tree. I would have to say that we made a new record this year with finding the tree the fastest this year. Sure, it may have been due to the cold weather, or just that we have a really good eye now and we know what we are looking for. Call it what you will, it took about 10 minutes.
Jacob brought his backpack filled with rope, candy, you name it, he had it. We were well prepared that day. Jonah wore his camouflage clothing, he fits right into Bremerton, and Noah sported his hat from when he was three--it makes him look so much younger in his face.
Noah was given the task this year to tie the yellow ribbon around the tree that we picked. He was so excited this year, because he had learned how to tie a knot. He did a great job and of course did it with such enthusiasm, asking all of us to look at the great job he had done.
Jacob had, of course, brought suckers for everyone, just in case of an emergency. Later that day, it did begin to snow, but we had already gotten home with the tree. We had a good time.
