The rain stopped just in time for us to make our annual trip to Buttermilk Farms and cut down our Christmas tree. Actually, last year we didn’t get to cut our tree down because the weekend we were planning to go, Hope got sick so Jon and Annie took a drive to Lowe’s and picked out a beautiful tree there. Buttermilk Farms is run by a dear man in our church family and we are so thankful for his farm and his trees and the girls would add, his hot chocolate! It actually didn’t take us long to find the tree for 2010. We got it home and got to work putting on the LED lights (of which, Jon is not a fan), ribbon and ornaments. I think we only had two ornament casualties this year, which I thought was pretty good considering all the little hands that were a part of the decorating. Oh, and after Hope woke from her nap, she had a temp of almost 101. What is up with her getting sick on our Christmas tree days??? Boooo!!!
