Oh, Christmas Tree

December 12, 2013

Today I went with my sister and step mom to pick out the family’s Christmas tree. (I say my family’s tree because sadly, living in a tiny house does not afford much in the way of indoor Christmas trees. Dont’ be too sad for me, though. I like to think of the 50 foot tall firs outside my house as my Christmas Trees ;))

christmas-tree-2013 I like to think of this as revenge (for the tree trying to kill us before.)

christmas-2013 “How tall am I?” “Well… Just over 5 1/2 feet, does that sound about right?”

squirrel-feeders I also thought these squirrels hanging out in the bird feeders at my parent’s house were pretty noteworthy

We always go to the Christmas tree farm River’s Edge in Deming because they let you cut your own and have nice lookin’ trees. I enjoy going and spending time with them looking at the trees and getting into the spirit of the holiday.
