this morning we were on the road at 9:30 am for our christmas tree expedition. last year we were unable to cut down our own tree from the tree farm we've been going to for several years as greg was very busy with work and we didn't want to go without him. this year we planned it a month in advance as korrina and brian wanted to get their tree from the same place, and they needed to request the day well ahead.
the day was very dark and grey . .
chanda instantly ran off to look for the concolor firs. their branches are a little longer, softer and paler . . if you scroll down on their website you'll see their tree selection guide.
i made a sour dough bread last night and baked it this morning. i actually hadn't done this in a very long time! we had sandwiches and chocolate chip cookies (which korrina made) and hot chocolate. the nicest part was warming up by the fire and smelling the wood smoke. i usually like to say hello to the oxen fred and pete, but they're not always there on a weekday.
we dropped chanda uptown at a babysitting job she had and then drove korrina and brian out to brooklyn.
we were fortunate to find a parking spot directly in front of their building . .
and then we headed back to manhattan . . and home . .
and dinner.
korrina's tree . .
Lovely photos, looks like you all had a really special day xx
