Starting in 2004, we've made it our Christmas tradition to head out to Varner's Farm in Collegeville to get our Christmas tree. We were so excited for Penny to join us as we searched for this year's tree. Although it was a little chilly, Penny loved everything about her first experience at Varner's.
These amazingly beautiful horses take you out to the field and you wander through the trees until you find the perfect one.
Here are Daddy & Penny in front of this year's tree. She's an 11 foot tall white pine and we think she's a beauty! 
Penny & I watched Daddy cut down the tree and then we guided him back to the pick-up spot. On the way back, one of the farm workers spotted Daddy and the giant tree and came to help! Did we tell you how much we love it at Varner's?

Did we tell you how much we love it at Varner's? Here is this year's tree all decorated in our family room:
Our ornaments are a mix of old and new - some of our childhood ornaments mixed with ornaments from our travels and everything in between. RC's mom just sent us "soft" ornaments that are Thompson family heirlooms that are great for the bottom of the tree now that Penny is mobile. Penny is not too sure what to make of the tree- she'll crawl close and stop and just look back and forth between us and the tree.
Daddy and our neighbor Jason put up the outside lights (THANKS JASON!!!). Doesn't the house look pretty? Penny loves the outside lights. She helps me plug them in when we get home from work/daycare and she talks like crazy while she watches them sparkle. She loves to look out the front windows at the lights!
So, that is this year's version of Deck the Halls of the Thompson house.
We hope this puts you in the Christmas spirit!
God Bless!
