Immediately after picking Zane up from school yesterday we headed to a tree farm in Salado. Don't let the long-sleeves and jeans fool you. It was 75 degrees outside, at least. Abe was not too happy when I asked him to wear jeans, but I just couldn't have shorts in the pics of us getting our Christmas tree. Call me crazy, but it just isn't right. For the most part we were the only ones there. Zane kept himself busy making rock soup while we hunted for the perfect tree.
Then we took advantage of a few of the farm's attractions; swings, hayride and a large area of hay to play in. I know Zane enjoyed himself and Brody, well he was just as good as he always is.
This particular swing session did not end well. As you can see Zane is on my lap and all was well until the very end. We hit some turbulence and had a not-so-smooth landing. Zane hit the ground and immediately said "I okay". I on the otherhand, skinned up my elbow pretty good. It didn't tear my shirt but I have a patch of skin missing. But it was worth it.
We got home and worked on getting the tree settled in its' new home, our living room. Then we strung the lights and hung the decorations. Zane was very helpful with that, which you can see for yourself in the photo collection at right. In fact, all our pics from the farm are there too.
Throughout the night Zane kept saying "this is the best Christmas ever!" I couldn't agree with him more.
