With the addition of William into our lives I wanted to find a Christmas tree farm which would allow us to choose and cut our own tree (which was my family's tradition for many years-actually, my parents STILL follow tradition). I found three such sites and called each one. I thought that I had been discerning in my decision to suggest a site down in Colorado Springs, but was very sadly mistaken. Below, disappointed faces. Stephen had his iphone so we found the listing for Lucky Lure. When I made the initial phone call, the man on the other end was full of cheer- I had hope Christmas could be ushered in properly!
We convinced the group that we had an amazing experience at Lucky Lure last year and that we should head up to Evergreen, CO for our trees. Basically,we drove an hour south for a tree to begin with, were sorely disappointed, drove the hour back to Denver and then an hour up to Evergreen. A lot of work for a tree, but it was fun and the Christmas cheer was well worth the effort!
This 'tree farm' did not have trees that
resembled Christmas trees. Actually, it
seemed that the owner may be an
opportunist! He had trees on his property and was selling them under the guise of being 'Christmas trees'.
The
actual business on the property deals with alpacas.
Steve and I have a photo of us here last year- in fact- we re-shot a few photos so William could join us this year.

Windsor enjoying our Cousins Treat at Christmas. As a special treat we ordered extra fudge topping. Our server brought out three little paper cups of fudge. Here, Windsor is cutting straight to the chase!
Cousins Treat!
There's our traditional 'brown and gold' treat! 'Liv is holding up a spoon for Will. someday she may just regret that!
I can't believe he's completely outgrown this!
Apple pie I made for Thanksgiving. For some reason, everyone was surprised by its appearance. Seems like a normal Dutch crust apple pie to me!
Uncle Matt and Auntie Bea (Betzhi let me know if you abhor that spelling for 'B') sent this awesome onesie! He'll be able to wear it for another week or so- it's not baggy AT ALL any longer! His biceps are maxing out the sleeves. Wow!!!!
Steve and I took Will to his first breakfast at Mona's last weekend. As always, it was delicious! January 3rd
Can you believe he started out this small?!!! Here Will is a mere 8 weeks in the cooker!
You've probably seen this pic on facebook, but here's, as Uncle E refers to, this pic, the Jedi
