We loaded up the pick-up and headed east to try to duplicate one of my favorite Wisconsin traditions... cutting down the Christmas tree! Although it was a few degrees warmer than it was in the Midwest, Mollie and Charlie were able to take a hay ride out to the tree farm and roam around while helping us pick out a tree. When we were about an hour and a half past planned departure, Mollie was no longer fascinated by one large green tree after another and we couldn't find our front runner, we just cut down the first tall tree we saw.
Here was Mollie's first choice:
And her approval of our final selection:
Always interesting to see how it looks when you actually put it in your house... hopefully it will have at least one good angle :)
The boys enjoyed the day after Thanksgiving sail, while Mollie bundled up with the ladies, looking like everyone's favorite Star Wars character!
She also enjoyed giving her cousin a ride...
She tried very hard to get involved in the adults bags tourney...
... and then figured out she could have more fun with the kids version.
...before Nana and Grandma cuddle time
