Here it is Thursday, December 23rd, and we are just getting our Christmas Tree decorated. We had a great old fashioned time yesterday, when we traveled to Timberville, Virginia to cut a fresh live tree!

Julianna, William, Alexandria, Hannah, Ellen and Grandaddy were along for the good time. The tree we selected was a very modest 5 feet tall, just the right size for the spot we have readied there by the piano.

After the cutting, (it was in the 20's) we stopped in to a good Italian Pizza Restaurant, in Timberville, and had some good Pizza and a Submarine sandwich for Hannah and I.

Then back to Harrisonburg, and another snack and some rest. Nathan came by to collect the children later in the afternoon, after they had a nap on the living room floor.
