Our Little Troopers

It was absolutely frigid the day after Thanksgiving, but we ventured out in search of the perfect tree anyway. The kids did great trying to help out and stay warm while mommy and daddy walked and walked to find our tree--all of us (except for daddy) tripped over protruding stumps along the way. Silas finally decided he couldn't keep up and started collecting sticks along the way instead. Sara carried the map and stood by the "prospective" trees while we scoped out other possible options. They both did great braving the cold AND being patient while mommy tried to find a flawless tree. I have great kids!!
