Oh Christmas Tree

This year we decided to cut down our Christmas tree.  We went to Fudge Factory Farms in Apple Hill to get a tree and some fudge.  We were happy to find the price of the tree included a pound of free fudge.  We were also happy to have Papa & Nonna Kurz come along.

It was a wonderful day.  Ava loved picking out her tree, cutting it down, and carrying it.  She was a good helper.  She also enjoyed running around in the "forest" and playing hid-n-seek.

Ava really liked this tree but it was too big.  This place was cool because all trees, no matter the size, (plus fudge) cost $49.99.

It was a cold day, but at least it was sunny and dry.

I love this picture!

Ava and Papa were chasing each other around the tree.

Not the greatest picture due to the bad lighting, but we are all together.

This is our tree.

Ava was excited for her 1st pony ride.  She had a great time and had a big smile on her face the whole time.  This is a big improvement from last year when she was afraid to ride the pony.
