A couple of weeks ago, Bo and I packed up McCord and Rocky and headed to Boone to find the perfect Christmas tree. We've done this since we were married and I look forward to this family tradition every year. We went to a new farm this year, and the trees were HUGE. We wandered into a row of trees looking for the perfect one, and were amazed at how closely they were planted. You could hardly walk down a row because the forest was so thick. We felt like we were completely secluded in a wild and magical forest. Well, in the rush to leave the house earlier in the morning, we managed to pack warm clothes for everyone including McCord's fleece jester suit (see pictures below) and Rocky's winter jacket (wish I had a picture of that!), but we forgot Bo's coat! Needless to say, we found the perfect tree in less than 30 minutes. I wish I would have gotten more photos of the day, but here are a few we managed to take.

| We can't remember the name of this farm, but it was in Linville, NC on Hwy 221 and had a big red barn visible from the highway |

| Check out the jester suit - compliments of cousin Bayer - this is the "Mama made me wear this" face. McCord was quite a trooper, a total of 6 1/2 hours in the car and only 3 meltdowns! |

.... And now switching gears...I've been wanting to share
this link with all of my crafty friends. These little elves are really easy and fun to make. If I can transition Monkey to a good napping schedule this week, you just might see more of them.
