The Christmas Tree

We picked one of the rainiest days to go find our Christmas tree this year. All of us (Daddy, Mommy, Jillian and Bridget) drove up to the Miller Tree Farm at Silver Lake to pick out this season's tree. Jillian was pretty excited on the way there, but that ended as soon as we got out of the car. It was pouring down rain, and a little cold, too. Bridget stayed dry and warm, as she was sitting in her little Euro-pack with Mommy, who had an umbrella. But, Jillian didn't bother staying under the umbrella, so she got wet, and her hands got very cold.

We found our tree in record time, since Jillian was pretty miserable and letting us know about it. Bridget was happy the whole time, looking around at all the trees.

Things got better when we bought the tree, as the owner gave Jillian a candy cane. She ate the whole thing on the way home. When we arrived home, we put the tree up and let it dry out before putting on the lights. Mommy got out the ornaments, and gave Jillian some of the unbreakable ones to put on. She did a super job of hanging them on the limbs.

At the end, Jillian was very excited to put the star on top of the tree.
