Today Abby and I had a great day!! We ventured out in our blizzard weather to get our free tree from our realtors. The weather here is awful, it would have been a snow day, but of course it's SATURDAY!! Oh, well....
We went out for breakfast today and then off to the farm for the trees. Then it was home to set up the tree and to gaze upon it's glory! After four loads of laundry and a light house cleaning we had friends over for tacos and chocolate chip cookies. It's a night full of laughter and love! 
Here's Abby guarding our tree from the vicious hands of other tree seekers.
When we first arrived, we found our tree! It was the first one we looked at. Of course we couldn't find the first tree we looked at, so we set it off to the side and proceeded to navigate through the rest of the trees. But alas, we returned to our first tree. I guess it was truly love at first sight.
Abby did her first snow angel. She had a great time just laying in the snow.
Since we were at the farm, there were LOTS of animals! Abby loved petting each and every one! She also enjoyed repeating back their animal noises. Can you just hear it now, "Moooo! Oink, Oink! Ba-a-a! and of course Ma-a-a-a! (that's the goat)
Abby was thrilled with her gingerbread man. She ate the head first!
At the end of the tree searching adventure, we enjoyed gingerbread cookies, hot apple cider, and doughnuts. By that time, we were ready to warm up.
While I set up the tree and fussed with the beautiful ribbon, Abby played with the nativity scenes. We have five different scenes. It's like Epcot, but on a smaller scale. We have a set from Guatemala, Ecuador, Haiti, Mexico and Israel. Don't forget that we do have a larger size Nativity set from Nana and Papa.
HERE IT IS!!! PERFECTION!!

All I can say is the ribbon makes it!! Thanks for the laughs today. It wasn't the driveway, but the feeling was exactly the same.
