O Christmas Tree!

Last weekend we trekked up to Northfield to get a Christmas tree and visit some friends from our college days!  We have been to this same tree farm a couple of times before, so it was fun to go back again.  The night before it snowed an inch or two which made it seem much more Christmas-y.  Charlotte had a great time running through the rows of trees and eating as much snow as she wanted.  :)  We settled on a nice one; not too big and not too small.  Then, Charlotte helped cut it down!







 Our little LumberJill!


 After all that hard work cutting down trees and visiting friends, we went to our favorite sandwich shop from our college days.  Actually, probably our favorite sandwich shop ever!  We finished off our day with a nice big sandwich, a bowl of black bean soup, and an ice cream cone as big as Mercy's head!
 Mercy is working on her "holding" skills.

 It was too late that night to put up the tree, so we didn't put it up and decorate it until the next day.  Charlotte had a great time.

 Even little Mercy "helped!"




We put Mercy in charge of getting rid of the loose needles on the tree.  :)
