On Saturday, we returned to Pleasant Street Christmas Tree Farm in Rehoboth, MA, to cut down our tree. It didn't take us long to remember where we tagged it in October. It was a perfect, 45-degree day, which we enjoyed while waiting for the tractor and sleigh to arrive with the "elves" who cut down our tree. Claire was a bit stunned and Belle did well, but declared she doesn't want to come back next year because the tractor was loud and bumpy.
After rearranging the house to make the tree fit - and doing some massive cleaning in the process - it was time to bring the tree in! Claire didn't care too much about it - though she does want to knock down and/or eat as many ornaments as she can find. Belle was more more interested in helping to decorate, finding just the right place for her trinkets and placing them on the branches herself. And both girls occupied themselves with drawing while Daddy strung the lights and hung the beads...
