Christmas Tree Traditions

It's the time to get into the holiday spirit by decorating for the season. The house is mostly decorated, but we were missing the main attraction until Sunday. Sunday afternoon, despite the cold temperatures, we ventured out to Lenderink Tree Farms for our annual search for the perfect Christmas tree. Only 10 minutes of wandering among trees and we found the perfect one. After chopping it down and hauling it back to main area of the tree farm we had it shaken out and tied up for the transfer home. This year Lenderink's had some other family activities to enjoy besides tree cutting. We roasted some marshmallows by the bonfire, Joshua and Cory went sledding, we drank our free hot chocolate complete with marshmallows and right before we left we spotted the beloved Saint Bernard that calls Lenderink's home. You will have to take note of the shirt Joshua is wearing (while decorating the tree) in honor of the Lenderink's Saint Bernard and free hot cocoa. Joshua had a great time out at the tree farm as well as helping decorate the tree. It is so fun to see how he really understands things and wants so much to be a part of everything we do! We had a great time and plan on continuing this Hager family tradition for many years to come!
