Getting back to our Christmas adventures at the Lodge, here we are on the hunt for our Christmas tree. You may recall, this was something we did two years ago when we spent our first Christmas season at the Lodge, and it was very special. The whole gang bundled up and braved the cold for this hunt - even Hallie! She got to ride in the backpack, which very comfortably fits her when she's in her cocoon.
The hunt was an interesting trek that started with a ride through the forest in the new winterized version of the Mario kart. After taking long looks at several trees, we found the perfect tree, and Will helped Grandpa cut it down.
As the tree was getting cleaned up, Will and AJ did some celebratory snow angels, which were awesome.
The decorations for the tree were great - you'll see the fully decorated tree in the next post with pictures of Christmas morning. Will was very involved in the decorating process. Note that the garland was made of popcorn and cranberries on a thread - several times throughout the rest of the week, one of us caught Will snitching pieces of popcorn off the garland.
