Prerequisite weather...


Christmas is, of course, a perfect time to build wonderful traditions with your family. Our family choses a "real" tree each year; however, before we can haul the thing home, the day must meet the prerequisite of having the worst weather of the season!
Well, yesterday was just such a day. Between the dumping of snow we received through the night, the gusty winds, and the freezing rain during the day, it was the perfectday to go pick our Christmas tree (which of course is furthest back in the field).
Once back in our warm and cozy home, stirring our hot chocolate and marshmallows with the candy canes given out at the tree lot, we discovered our tree to be "weeping" from all the snow and freezing rain on its branches!
It looks lovely now though, all decked out with ornaments and angel...


















...but the weather isn't any better!
