Christmas Tree Adventure

Luke and I always go to a u-cut Christmas tree farm to get our tree and this year I was excited for Carissa to be able to help us pick one out.  However, things did not go as planned!  During the week we finally had time to go get the tree, Bellingham was having a cold snap and temperatures were as low as 9 degrees with the wind chill.  Rare for this side of the state!  We decided to brave it anyway.  The place we went was a bit of a drive and of course Carissa fell asleep in the car on the way there.  Often she wakes up when the car is turned off, but not this time.  We didn't want to wake her up just to bring her into the freezing cold, especially since she is not the greatest napper these days.  So.....we left her in the car and picked from the trees that were right next to the parking lot.  We still got a good one, but it is a bit of a beast!  Maybe next year she will be more help in picking out the perfect tree.  :)
