Daddy and Shekina's 1st Christmas tree! :)

Denny had never had a Christmas tree before so we decided to all go to a Christmas tree farm to cut our very own Christmas tree! :)
Denny and Shekina are in the wagon pulled by the tractor to take us out into the field.....



"A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go...hi ho the tario, a hunting we will go! :)






AHA...1 1/2 hours later we found our tree....
As you can see, it was getting dark, and we were about the last ones to be picked up by the tractor.... otherwise we'd be sleeping with the Christmas trees!! :)







Daddy putting the lights on the tree...

















Shekina enjoying the fun as we put out our snowflakes....a Canadian touch! :)
Our special candle in the window...
Shekina LOVES to be up at the counter with me as we cook! :)We are making my Great Aunt's special gingersnap recipe. We were mailed a tin of these special homemade, hand kneaded cookies when I was a little girl and my dad would pass them out to us as if they were gold!! :) So we resurected this "Setter" tradition! :) Shekina is helping "knead" the dough!! :)
