This year we went to a new place to find our Christmas tree.  It was a cute little farm in Middleburg with a pet pig of all things.  It was a very nice day out – no rain, no snow .. so I was happy!  Of course Dan took forever to find the perfect tree and the one we picked up was HUGE … although it didn’t look that big in the field … until we tried to bring it into our house.  Times like this is when I wish I had higher ceilings.  However, it ended up looking quite fat and lovely once we decorated it.

While Dan searched for the perfect tree … Olivia and I entertained ourselves by playing hide and seek and cracking each other up!

Rosie, of course, was a part of the action. She was able to roam free and of course found something disgusting to role around in! At one point she went on a bee line towards the pig … but something made her stop and haul butt back to where we were. Wonder what she saw, or what that pig said to her?!

Of course, Dan is never satisfied with just still pictures. He makes me video tape every moment of our lives, but we never ever see them. He needs to post them somewhere!

Hauling the behemoth out … where is the guy with the tractor when you need him?

There he is, Olivia was the smart one and hitched a ride.
