The Tree

I was really hoping
I had my fingers crossed
I kept my mouth shut
I didn't encourage
I thought I could
get away with it
for one more year
I lost
The tree is up
not decorated yet
but up
the kids won

we started the afternoon
at the Apple Barn
for a ride in the tractor carts


what kid doesn't love
any type of farm vehicle ride
mine love them all



it was a nice short ride
with numerous cute
Christmas blow ups
and lighted trees



we pulled up to
'santa's workshop'
one little boy in our group
was yelling
'this is the real north pole'
he was so excited
there was a nice trail
thru 'the north pole'


they had cookies to decorate
and a play area
with a nice train set
a warm fire place
and hot apple cider
for the adults



after the ride back
we visited the bunny barn
and then headed home
to put up the Christmas tree
the kidlets were pretty excited
I'm excited for a fake prelit tree
that is easy to set up


after it was up
the kids decided
it was time to sing
jingle bells
so they rocked it
out around the
Christmas Tree


girly decided to
start decorating


after the tree was up
we decided that
mommy and daddy
were too tired
to deal with decorating
so we had some yummy dinner
california rolls
avocado rolls
the kids love them
my little man
eats a lot
he loves it



they jury is still out
on if decorations
will be put on the tree
as the mommy who has
to clean it up
I'm voting no decorations
