We finally got to go to the nursery and cut down our Christmas tree just two weeks before Christmas! We had tried once the week before only to find the nursery closed at 5:30 and the sky quickly getting dark. We were pretty disappointed until, on the drive home, we saw the Northern lights for the first time. If you have never seen them, they are incredible. Just like on the movie Brother Bear. For those of you who haven't seen the movie...the Northern lights touch the mountain and lift the main character up and turn him into a bear. Drew saw the lights and shouted, "Dad, get closer, I want to be an elephant!" Needless to say, he is still a little boy, but we got an incredible show.
The next week, we managed to make it to the tree farm before they closed. We had a great time, although Joseph was at a wrestling tournament and had to miss it. We drove around until we found the perfect tree and then had to cut about another foot off of it to fit it in the house! It is probably 10 feet tall!
