Christmas Tree Hunt

Kirk and I were invited to Frank and Cindy's home for their annual Christmas Tree Party. Friends and family bundle up and go out to find and cut down their Christmas tree. It was a beautiful day for it when you are dressed for the occasion. I would have loved to join the hunting party but our draw back are the dogs. We (the dogs & I) made an attempt to go along until I could see Shadow trying to keep her feet out of the snow. Of course that wasn't working there is snow everywhere. I was carrying Peaty in a bucket lined with a blank. (It was one of those you had to see it) Peaty was handling things just fine. Mind you the bucket was killing my back. Well, back to the house we go. We need small pairs of Canadian insulated boots for the dogs.

The best part of the day for Kirk and I was just the visit with family. We don't get out much and just being with family and their friends was wonderful.
Then comes the food and drink. Cindy made this great apple cider drink with whip cream and a kick to it. (Notice: I talked about the drink first) They had a great veggie chilly and lots of cold cuts with a wonderful variety of cheeses. We ate too much. What else is new? Our day caught up to us early as usual. When we got home Kirk was sound asleep in his chair at 7:30 pm. We contribute this to starting our days too early, long walks in fresh cold air, tasty food and warm apple cider.

I believe a good time was had by all and we are glad to be part of it.
