Tree #2

So Sunday comes along and the blue sky has disappeared. That is okay though, we are from Oregon. We head up the mountain bright and early in search of a second tree. This time packing along a Christmas feast for the animals. While the men cut down the selected trees, my friend Cyndi and I facilitated the tree decorating. A couple nights prior we helped the kids make pine cone bird feeders, and a cranberry string. The kids were very excited to leave these treats for the animals along with some yummy apples. I hope to make this a tradition for the years we find our tree on the mountain. The idea came from the book Night Tree by Eve Bunting.

So we brought home the second tree. It has found a home down stairs and is now decorated with colored lights and has a train BLARING around the bottom of it. Mike put the house lights up and I can finally sing . . .

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Now let's see if the snow forecast comes through!
