We cut down a tree and brought it on home. The whole crew was able to gather up to go pick our Christmas tree today. I was glad to have everyone around. It sure doesn't look like winter in Madison. There's no snow and instead we had mud. It rained all night last night. I don't remember cutting a tree down in mud before. I prefer the snow by far.
There's that Surefire Hat again. He has two and swaps them out but always has one of them on everyday. He is a good and helpful one always jumping right in to get involved. I love that.
I now have 22 photos of my husband cutting down the Christmas tree and they all look pretty much like this one. This year the tree cut through so quickly. It was an easy time.
The stripped pine cones looked so unusual and ornamental on the tree branches.
What a group. They make every outing a memory with lots of laughs and silliness. L.O.V.E. them.
It looks like a fall day much more than a winter day in Wisconsin, particularly in December. It is strange. It wasn't even that cold, maybe 36 degrees.

Peachy wore her new Bella's Mitts. They are her favorite thing now (she told me so).
Peachy also wore her Twilight Hat that I knit for her last fall.
I put up a new header on the blog. I have heard some very kind and positive feedback. I'll tell you more about the photo and a couple of new things on the blog in the next post.
For now, have a happy Monday.
best, susie
