This year we went to the farm that's just 10 minutes from our house. The selection wasn't as good, but it was a much shorter trip than usual and we couldn't have asked for a nicer day. We were all very bundled, but it ended up not being needed.

I'm not very good about letting the kids help decorate the tree. I am a bit particular about what ornaments to use and where to put them. I like to have mostly glass, angels and stars, so that means none of the kiddish ornaments get put up. I've always felt a little bad about it, so this year we bought the kids their own 3 foot tree to decorate all by themselves. The kids love their tree and it sits in the kitchen window for all to see. I think we might make it a yearly tradition.
