It's tradition ... from our first Christmas together in western Montana ... cutting down our tree is the official beginning of our Christmas festivities. This year we went to a tree farm outside of Huntsville (not as systematic as the Half Moon Bay tree farm, or as wide-open as the tree "farm" in the Santa Cruz Mountains). In truth, we've never found the 'perfect' tree that you would find on a lot - but we always have a lot of fun! Plus, it's a great excuse for Benj to get to use a saw ... and for an Eagle Scout in a house full of girls, you can't have enough reasons to use a tool.
And yes, we were in touch with Ukraine and Bulbuski!
This year's tree had an extra special surprise - a REAL nest!And time to get out our Christmas dishes ... formerly in storage.
Our finished tree ...
And a picture of me several weeks later (December 23 rd) 39 weeks pregnant - I just didn't know where to post it:)
