Christmas tree time!!

We went to get a christmas tree today. It was one of those archetypal family days that movies are made of. Or, at the very least, hallmark cards. We walked around Johnson Farm for about 10 or 15 minutes until we found the perfect tree. It was made for us. We grabbed our scythe and cut it down ourselves. Melissa began the job of sawing while Nikolai watched in awe. Matt took over after a while, finishing the process. We carried our tree over to the "netting" area to have it wrapped and put on top of the car, while we took Nikolai and Melissa over for a hay ride (alas, no hay). Matt and I got apple cider while we waited for them to return.

It was such a crisp and beautiful day. Everyone had steam billowing from their mouths. What a perfect day.
