Let sleeping Dogs Lie…by the Christmas Tree

Bear is enjoying the nice quiet atmosphere of the tree.  Also I love my tree, it turned out so beautiful.  As soon as I finish the Christmas stockings and get them hung I will take some better pictures.  I even hung up my wall decoration I made years ago but haven’t had the place to hang it for a long time.

Christmas Tree Hunting near Jemez Springs, NM

We wanted to cut down our own tree, a tradition we have had for many years.  The last few years haven’t been so successful, but we decided that one of the advantages about being in New Mexico for this holiday season was 1- No snow  2- NO freezing temperatures  3- No 4 feet of snow to trudge through.

So we drove (just a note ALexis drove us there) up to the mountains.  I must say it was very nice and very comforting to be in the mountains.  We forged through the mud from the current rain storm and found our way to the right spot.  And low and behold there was snow.  It was just the perfect amount.  We hunted through tree after tree but this one kept calling our name.  It was a fun trip and no one got car sick ( and that is saying A LOT).  Now to decorate it.
