We hit up good ol' Faulkner's up the road to pick out our tree this year. They are super friendly and we've spoken with Brian who works there a couple of times (we WILL work on our front gardens someday!) They had a ton of trees to choose from and Little Miss Charlie had too much fun running around and through them really fast.
I think we made a pretty good choice - and it looked great next to the finally-done fireplace this year!
We even set up Charlie's little tree (our old apartment tree) in her room again this year.
December 8th - Santa's Workshop
Another great (free!) Christmas event here in our town is Santa's Workshop, which they do at a local storage company. We didn't know what to expect - I thought it was outside, so I didn't worry too much about what Charlie was wearing under her coat. We met up with the rest of our neighborhood at and all caravanned down together. We stood in line for a bit as we waited for the doors to open and went into the house to experience an adorable little workshop setup. Santa was sitting in his rocking chair, waiting for the visits from the kids; elves were demonstrating how they make their toys; they had little craft tables set up for the kids; Mrs. Claus was walking around greeting the children, and they even had a toy closet where kids could go and pick out a toy!
Our first stop was the visit to Santa (again, please don't pay any attention to her outfit ... though it IS purple!) She did very well with him this time!!
We can't wait to go back again next year!
