Treasured Times, Silly Hats

One of my all time favorite holiday traditions from my childhood is that of cutting down, then decorating our Christmas tree.  We nearly always visited the same tree farm, and definitely returned home with a Douglas Fir.  Aside from the year that Rose was in the NICU, this has been the only year that I haven't accompanied my family on our annual festive errand.


As I can not be a part of the merriment this year, why not flashback to one such outing?


Although our juvenile hats may indicate otherwise, I was a sophomore in college, and  my sister was a senior in high school in this photo.

Regardless of the years that pass, or the age of its members, procuring the Christmas tree remains - for me -  one of the most treasured aspects of celebrating!
