A Tree of Their Own

The previous post is a slideshow of the girls and Nate enjoying the 1st snowfall. I don't think you can enjoy winter in its fullness without kids to play in the snow with. (And a husband to take them out there while I 'keep the house warm'. ;o) It was pulling teeth to get Abs in her snowclothes, but once she was out there, she was a maniac! Caitlin's always been daring at everything...she's going to be the boy that Nate never had. (Hope you're not reading this Buns!)

Abby and I went with Caitlin's preschool class to Fouch's Tree Farm on Tuesday for a field trip. It was fun, and we ended up cutting down a little mini real Christmas tree for $5!!! I was so excited, because I thought it would be perfect in their playhouse. It is such a darling little tree...but it has it's downfalls. Like...who would have thought about the needles getting in the girls feet? Ooops! Oh well, it was fun, and they love 'their own tree'. And we made a star out of a Cheerios box and glitter to top it all off. Kids are so much fun!
