The first weekend of December, we braved the frigid temperatures and headed out into the woods (well...a tree farm) and searched for the perfect "Hymas Family Christmas Tree". Thankfully we found one without all of the challenges the Griswolds ran into (one of the best Christmas movies ever....National Lampoons Christmas Vacation)!
We went to Farrell's Tree Farm in Washougal. One can find a wide variety of Nobles, Grands, and other fir varieties at this family-run farm. They always have a large campfire roaring and hot chocolate flowing to warm weary tree hunters both inside and out.
When we decorated the tree, we had our new friends/neighbors Max & Angela, their daughter Olivia, and Italian exchange student Ariana over to help. Ryan and Olivia are the same age, and really got into the decorating spirit. For Evan, it was a hands-off affair. Later in the week we went over to Max & Angela's house to help decorate their tree.
Family, friends, and traditions...both new and old...make this season truly great!
