Christmas Tree Shopping with Grandma & Grandpa Capwell

Mom and Syd went shopping for Christmas trees with Grandma & Grandpa Capwell over the weekend. Mom was so happy to have Syd see what it was like to get a real tree for Christmas since her Grinchy husband has settled us with a fake one. Mom really don't like fake trees, they're so... fake looking.
Anyway, the place we went to had acres of trees, a sleigh ride, free hot dogs and hot cocoa, and a campfire to keep you warm. The hot cocoa and fire were great since it was a very cold day, especially as the sun went down. Syd enjoyed two hotdogs while we were there. The farm also cuts the tree for you, shakes the tree to get excess needles off, wraps the tree, and loads it on your car all for the cost of the tree. Very cool...

Here are some pictures of Syd walking through the trees. She was very excited to see that some were smaller than her or her "perfect size".



We also took the sleigh ride, which was very fun. Syd loved it.



Then we sat around the fire to get warm before going home.



It was a great experience and we had a lot of fun.
