Rocking around the Christmas Tree- Tree Pickin' with the Keys Family 2013

"...Rocking around the Christmas Tree..."

"...Let the Christmas Spirit ring..."

"...Later we'll have some pumpkin pie..."

"...And we'll do some caroling..."

"...Have a happy holiday
Everyone's dancing merrily
In a new old fashioned way..."

It's the first full weekend in December and that only means one thing in the Jones household... Christmas Tree time! We met up with our friends, the Keys family, at our usual Christmas tree farm, Shady Rest. The weather was chilly, but not snowy, this year. We took our time finding the "perfect tree." Lil' Miss had her own opinions on what she was looking for in a tree! Bigger! Taller! Fatter!

After we found THE tree, drank some hot chocolate and the girls enjoyed a lollipop, we went to Brushy Mountain Smokehouse and Creamery for lunch. Katy and Cecilia had lots of fun together! Lunch was delicious and the company merry.

Love our annual trek to the mountains to get Christmas tree!

"I Got This..."

"Today, I went pumpkin picking with Mommy and Daddy."

"Here's a good looking pumpkin."

"Boy, it's kinda heavy...."

"Don't worry, Daddy- I got this..."

Family Pumpkin Time!

Pumpkin Picking with our Lil' Pumpkin

Our family's October calendar is jam-packed! We managed to carve out a little time, this afternoon, to make our annual trek to Riverbend Farm to select our family pumpkins. As always, we had fun riding all the slides, taking pictures with the various landmarks and, of course, selecting our pumpkins! This year, we chose a bright orange pumpkin to carve, a small pumpkin for Katy, a whitish one for moi and a cute little gourd that Katy couldn't seem to part with.
