Oh Christmas Tree!

 Every December we head to a local Christmas Tree farm and search the fields for the biggest and best tree that we can find.  The horse-drawn wagon takes us out to the fields and this year, Penny was so excited to ride the "hayride"!
 We got to the fields and started our hunt for the perfect tree. It didn't take long to find her!
From the minute we got out there, Penny wanted to head back to the horses. She kept pointing and saying "hayride this way".
Daddy had to carry the tree back to the loading station by himself again this year. As usual, people stared as the giant tree walked towards the workers.
While we waited for the wagon, Penny got her green on. I love my little tree hugger :)
 
 We rode the wagon back to the barn and got ready to take our tree home.
 Another great year of Christmas tree fetching.
 Annual manger pose :) Penny keeps calling baby Jesus "baby brother".
 Love this sign:
 When we go the tree home, we started decorating. Penny was a great helper.
 "Daddy stand on ladder to put up lights". Penny keeps telling everyone :)
 Decorating is more fun with marshmallows :)
 And here's the 2011 tree fully decorated.  She's only 10.5 feet tall this year (last year's was over 11).
The Christmas spirit is all around us now :) I love this time of year!
