Here it is today. Sunny, cold, and windy.
We did make it up to the mountains to get our tree. It was 23* but the wind was really blowing up there so I am sure the temperature was in the teens. But it was so beautiful as you can see.
Here is a "before" picture of our Christmas tree. We will get it decorated tomorrow. (the one with the ribbon on top)
My newlywed son and his sweet wife went up to the mountains with us and bought their first tree together. My son is such a comedian. Ever since he was a little boy he has made us laugh.
With passion,Carrie P.
