We hunted our Christmas tree this weekend. This years hunt was much nicer and less grumpy than last years. First, there wasn't much snow and second, we didn't hike nearly so far in before we found The One.
As we were hiking along we both looked up and a beam of light descended on our tree and the angels sang. Seriously, that's how we found it.... ok maybe the singing was Rory but still! Amazing!
Dragging our kill out.
It took two tries but we got the tree on Sheila and tied it down.
Then we went hunting for tree limbs. I had this ingenious idea to make garlands for my windows. Har har.
Rory found this sweet frozen pond so we went ice skating.
And then we had a picnic at which I ate my sandwich ferociously.
On the way home we saw a huge herd of elk! We managed to not really get a decent picture of any of them but it was really cool. There really is an elk in this picture. It's right in the middle.
We got home and trimmed and decorated the tree.
I made my garland...
When we tried to put it over the windows all it would do was sag and fall off. Now it's gracing our piano. I didn't really want it on the window anyway. Stupid garland.
