Christmas Tree '09

As always we got our tree this year from Megargell Tree Farm in Orangeville. We got our tree on December 5th and put it up on the 6th (I am just a little behind on posting the pictures). It was a much different experience from last year when Anna was only a few weeks old, it was FREEZING and Annalise slept the whole time! This year I carried her in the backpack because I didn't think she was steady enough on her feet yet to be tromping through the fields without falling a million times. It was cold but it was not ruthless, Anna did not sleep but was shrieking (her happy shrieks), and it was even flurrying for the perfect ambiance!

All ready to go!

This one was it!

Ready to drag it all the way back to the barn.
Actually he could only drag it for a little while because the path turned to mud so he had to carry it the rest of the way. He always REFUSES to get a cart though!

That's a nice looking tree that you didn't pay for right away :) I also really like the carrier for Anna. Maybe next year Stan will be willing to get a cart??
