I have so many good pictures that I want to share, but my camera is not cooperating. Our family (just the 3, uhh.., 4 of us) went to a Christmas tree farm in Lincolnton, NC. Daniel is not big on Christmas trees, but he thought it would be a good family outing and maybe a good future tradition. Anyway, we drove about an hour to a place out in the country of the foothills. It was cut your own tree (Leyland Cyprus), any size, for $25. They had free snacks, hay rides, and animals to look at. Malachi had a blast!!! He walked around the uneven ground and when given the choice between two trees "picked" the one that Daniel cut down. He went on a hay ride, looked at a pig, some sheep, and some goats. He even ate half of a cream-filled cookie. He continued his fun at Wendy's eating fries, chicken, and fruit. He napped in the car on the way home and continued that nap when we got home. He acted like he truly did enjoy himself.
On a side note, my car is over 8 years old. Even though the tree is less than 6 feet tall, we strapped it to the roof rack. That was the first time, ever, that my roof rack (on the Rav4) has been used!!! This was also the first time that I have gotten a real tree for Christmas. I guess Malachi wasn't the only one with firsts this year!

The only fresh tree you REMEMBER. We used to have a fake tree in the living room and a real tree in the den.
