An Old Fashion Christmas Tree

We had a significant snow storm here. It snowed last Thursday night and it has not gone anywhere. We got 6 inches I believe. I am used to the roads getting plowed so quickly in DC that this is crazy to me that snow is still on the roads...but I guess there is not usually a need for it here. It has been beautiful though. Colin has been having so much fun playing in it each day, but I think he is ready to go back to school. He has been off since last Friday. Crazy. I am sure they have used all of their snow days up for the school year.

So the weekend after the snow came, we went up to the mountains to get us a tree!  Will had never cut his own tree and I have very fond memories of doing it when I was a kid. It was beautiful! We got to be the first driver on several paths, which was neat.

The tree we got looks a little different then what we usually have. Not as full. At first, when we got it in the house we were both like, "oh no", but our oversized Charlie Brown tree has really grown on us. We can see so many of the ornaments and I really love it! It is good to change things up every once in a while.

It was a great experience...one I think Colin will remember when he is older. As I sit and write this, I am looking at our beautiful decorated tree...it may not be a really full tree, but it has personality! A little quirky, which fits this family!
