O Christmas Tree

This past weekend we headed out for our annual trek to hunt for the perfect Christmas tree. This year took us to Eatonville to Cox's Tree Farm. There were 12 of us and we all found our trees within 25 minutes of our arrivals! They had a great selection and decent prices. Afterward we headed to Frontier Park in Graham for a lunchtime picnic of hot soup and snacky stuff. It was a gorgeous day and being in the sun made it a little less cold out!

The next morning we set out to decorate the tree. Seth and Alistair worked on the tree lights to give me a year off (it's usually my job). They did a great job and Alistair was very helpful!

In an unrelated bit, Alistair is inching closer to walking. He is now standing without holding anything. He will either hold something to get his balance and then let go and stand there for a minute or so while he lectures us or tells a story and then he will sometimes fall back on his butt and do it again. Sometimes when he falls, he will just stand up from the floor. He did take a couple of side steps yesterday to get to his mail cart. He is so close!!!
