11.28.10

Friday morning we went to cut down our Christmas trees.
...
Monet seemed a little confused by her new snow outfit. She was like a little snow ball that could hardly walk.
We took her sledding for the first time, but she has a cold and didn't feel well and was clearly not in the mood. So she ended up sitting in the trailer while Chloe and I sled for her. When we got down she would say, "again, again."
She wasn't really happy until we gave her a bag of raisins. If you have candy in one hand and raisins in the other she will always choose the raisins. She loves them.
Chloe really made her happy by making her a snowman. She's been talking about snowmen for a week and finally she had one.

...
My mom, Riley and Grant hiked through the waste deep snow for about two hours to cut the trees while me, Chloe, my dad and Monet stayed by the truck and fire. After cutting 4 trees we went to Midway for Mexican food. It was a long but really fun and beautiful day.

It was so fun to see everybody at the ping pong tournament. I love that you guys go and find a tree! We used to do that when I was little and hopefully I can start up the tradition when we have kids!
