Last Saturday we headed out to Clear Lake to the Petersen Tree Farm to pick out our "Glur Family Christmas Tree" for 2010. We had a great time! We decided that this year we would get a tall, skinny tree and that we would try a fir tree instead of our usual Scotch Pine.
Here's the one we picked: We ended up with a 11 foot tall Fraser Fir tree that looks absolutely gorgeous in our front formal living room. (More pictures to come later of the finished product!)
After getting the tree shaken, bailed, and tied down to the top of the Suburban, Landon decided that he wanted to go for a ride on the "tractor." They had a hayride going out into the tree fields so we did one loop around the farm.
Here's the Suburban with the massive tree tied to the top!
Backtracking just a bit... We spent Thanksgiving Day with the Hegle's at Lorie and Tim's house in Annandale. It was so fun to see all the kiddos playing together. It's a lot louder and more chaotic than it ever used to be, that's for sure! Addison had fun "playing" with my cousin Elin.
We got together after church with the Fouquette side of my family on Sunday. We went to Waterfront for lunch and watched the first half of the Vikes game with the Crazy Waterfront Vikings Fan Club.
We have sooooo much to be thankful for this year...
our two beautiful, healthy children whom we love dearly and cherish every day
our awesome house that we have finally furnished
our supportive families who have helped us out in numerous ways this year
our jobs that keep us busy and food on the table
our friends, near and far
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
