This year I got back to a tradition I had started with my oldest son Declan.  Lars, Dalton and Declan travelled to the Christmas Tree farm!  In this short video you can see the boys are really happy to start exploring the field in search of our tree. I posted photos too.  Dalton was thrilled to see the reindeer and both boys played with a lot of other children as many families were there to pick out trees.  It was a bit somber at moments only being the three of us, as I recall fondly a time when the whole family was together, but life changes and you have to appreciate what you have.  Christmas will be bitter-sweet this year for me, but for my children it will be a time that they can forget about their worries and enjoy being a kid. Taking my children to the tree farm is part of that experience I want them to have.  Even the little things like running up and down a wood chip mountain are memories a kid remembers fondly.
