Ducks standing on the frozen lake. It was cold that day!









We headed to the mountains of North Carolina the first weekend in December to get a Christmas tree. I know we could go to the lot down the street and get one but when we can we try and make a whole day of going to get the tree and cut it down in the mountains. It's a different experience every time and one that we talk about and remember year after year. The kids really enjoy it. This year we went to Sugar Plum Tree Farm in Plumtree, NC. It was about a 3 hour drive and was extremely cold that day. Ansley got her wish.......it snowed while we were there. It was very neat to be picking a tree in the snow but we were so cold we couldn't feel our fingers or toes anymore! We picked a beautiful tree and ended up staying at the tree farm for hours. They had lots of actitivies: meeting with Santa, sitting in the warm indoors eating popcorn and drinking hot chocolate, shopping in their Christmas store and roasting marshmellows in the fire pit outside. It was a fun day!!
