Sunday's quest led us on a journey to Pine Tree Barn in search of a Christmas tree. The sky was clear and blue with high wispy clouds. The air was fragrant with the evergreen scent of pine and fir. Jacob and Abby ran and played among the forest of Christmas trees. After much consideration, we finally found a fir tree that Jacob helped Papa cut down. The tree was bundled and loaded into the car as the gently drifting smoke from a nearby yule log filled us with memories of camping. A bumpy yet joyful tractor-pulled trolly ride around the tree farm was followed by cookies and hot chocolate in the barn. We then headed home to supper and put up the tree. Mission accomplished!
"Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree, how beautiful thy branches."
