We were very fortunate to have Diana, Carlos and Charles come join us for Thanksgiving this year. They flew in on Thanksgiving day since Stevie was on call that day anyways. We had decided to celebrate Thanksgiving on Friday instead and then get our tree on Sunday since he would be on call on Saturday too.
Stevie came home from work on Friday morning to tell us that the weather forcast for Sunday was bad - a nasty wintry mix - so he suggested that we get our tree on Friday instead. That threw a small clog in my wheel since I had Thanksgiving dinner to prepare, but we rallied and all got dressed, breakfast and out the door by 10:00. Stevie had picked a tree farm about an hour away that sounded like a lot of fun.
The farm was huge and had quite the set up going with hot chocolate, cider, fire pits and even its own Christmas store.

After some cocoa, we headed out to the fields to find the perfect tree.

| This one? No... |
 |
| This one!!! (The one behind us, not in front.) (Yes, even Mick helped us decide.) |
 |
| Look! That's me in a picture!!! |
After selecting the perfect one, the men took over to get their yearly lumberjack fix.
 |
| Timber! |
The kind folks at the tree farm helped us tie the thing on our roof since we don't have a roof rack and we had an hour's drive! It stayed on, though, and we got back in time for me to cook the turkey and fixings and to celebrate Thanksgiving.
