joy and peace (10) The christmas tree edition

We actually got our tree last weekend. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot of the nursery Josh announced that my mom and dad were there too which was totally unplanned. When the kids were younger we did the whole tractor ride cut your own Christmas tree thing. We've been going now to the nursery for several years because it is convenient and mainly because I like supporting this local family run business. It's a wonder really that we all were able to go together with the schedules we keep. I remember last year we took Josh's first car. We all piled in and the tree went on top for the ride home. I'm pretty sure Brooklyn didn't go as that would have been a tight fit. We had a baked potato bar this year after we got back. I'm trying to capture all these little things while they are fresh in my mind. I cooked one sweet potato for me and it was really tasty - I remember that!

This Sunday evening it's just Tori and me around here. We've spent the weekend together actually with my husband on travel, Tallie away with a friend and Josh either at work or with friends. We enjoy or at least I enjoy our time together. My to-do list for today is almost complete. The last box to check off is to spend some time knitting.
