Christmas Trees

Look at this one! It's HUGE! Let's get it! (Sometimes a guy just needs a boost to reach that perfect branch.)

MOMMY!......My ordimints (ornaments) won't stay on the tree!....


NorthernDaddy hates tinsel. NorthernMommy is enamored of tinsel. It was left to NorthernToddler to decide whether there would be tinsel applied to the tree. Of course, any two-year-old on the planet - when presented with sparkly shiny stuff - would tell you to put it on the tree. (Note NorthernToddler's application technique - hang it in clumps!)

While we were waiting for Santa to arrive on the Green, we crafted a reindeer hat and a paper snowflake.
Santa arrives to light the tree on the Green.
Now, if you'll notice, Santa arrives in a small trailer pulled by a tractor. NorthernToddler was not so excited by the fact that Santa was present as he was super-enthused about the guy driving the tractor...(that guy! He's driving the tractor in the snow! Look! Tractor! In the snow!) So, apparently, Santa is just not nearly as cool as a guy driving a tractor.....That's fine with NorthernDaddy - it fits right in with NorthernToddler's not believing that presents go under Christmas trees. If you ask NorthernToddler what goes under a Christmas tree, he will give you the answer: WATER! (That is the only thing that goes under the tree.)(In the big green stand - it's NorthernToddler's job, you see - to water the tree.)

Look closely - that's a Kubota wearing Christmas lights and pulling a "sleigh". Just how rural/farm/redneckish is our town if Santa arrives by tractor?
