we found the most beautiful christmas tree farm a couple of weekends ago!
it was another lovely drive out on I-90. the seattle area had quite a bit of snow the week before and spots of white could still be found on the ground. we drove to mountain creek tree farm and stepped out into the cold air. we made sure we were bundled up nice and warm before venturing into the rows of fir trees with our candy cane striped saw.
it was so beautiful! pictured above, eli and i are looking at the snow laden mt. si. we hope to hike that one if we get some good weather this spring!
after some serious searching we finally found our perfect tree, a nice symmetrical noble fir. aaron did a great job sawing it down in no time :)
as he wrapped the tree in netting and tied it to the hood of our car, i went inside and grabbed some of the free hot cider. it was cold out there!
we unpacked the christmas decorations and found bandit's christmas chew toy...he was sooo excited and has been playing with it non-stop. and whenever he really goes after it, eli gives a little giggle :)
i have to say that this is one of the best trees in shape and decoration. elias loves the tree, the lights, and ornaments. it is heart warming to see his eyes light up in fascination.
and with the holidays, of course comes the holiday treats. we have made one batch of ginger molasses cookies, and have purchased more bags of sugary deliciousness than healthy for one household!
and aaron came home with a chocolaty treat for me the other day and i just had to share the cute little way he wrapped it up in a napkin :)
