Our Christmas Tree

To make our Christmas memorable, we chose one of the coldest days of the year to get our Christmas tree. It might have been as high as 20 F. So, we bundled up in our warmest clothes and headed up to the tree farm by Silver Lake. It was cold, and Jillian told us so. She didn't want to get down and walk in the snow/ice, so we had to carry her everywhere. We walked a long ways, but Mommy found the perfect tree on the far side of the tree farm (as shown in this photo). By then, Jillian was very cold, so we got her back into Grandpa Peterson's truck and warmed her up ("nice and warm", as she likes to say). We loaded up the tree and headed home.

P.S. (12/10/09) Grannie and Papa Woodruff took Jillian to the same Christmas tree farm. When they started walking towards the trees, Jillian recognized where she was, and turned around and started yelling "car!".
