Today is the first day of rifle season, Happy Hunting! In that spirit, we ventured out yesterday to hunt our own Christmas tree. We decided we are going to do this every year from now, in spite of the allergies that have attacked all 3 of us from having a tree IN the house. The memories of picking out our tree at the Christmas tree farm, combined with the genuine spirit of the season that you feel when you walk into the house and smell pine are just worth it. We want our kids to have this memory every year, and for picking out a tree to be an event they look forward to.
We visited Arnold's Christmas Tree Farm in Rye Township/New Bloomfield, and for a very good price found the perfect tree! Because I am so heavily pregnant and wanted to take pictures, and because Brady LOVES his Grandma Fischer so very much, my mom came along with us. It was blustery and cold, but Brady had a great time (as he always does) being outside. He even got to try some free hot chocolate at the end of it!

| "What is this place, Grandma?" |
 |
| "Hmm, that rock looks yummy..." |
 |
| Picking out a breed... |
 |
| "Found one!" |
 |
| "Here Daddy, let me help you saw down that tree!" |
 |
| "Good job buddy!" |
 |
| "Ok, now hurry up..." |
 |
| Victory at last! |
 |
| "Peekaboo Mommy!" |
As always, I saved my favorite picture for last. I cannot get enough of that little face--it belongs to the love of my life!
