Christmas Tree Time

The Nollmeyer's braved true Alaskan weather to get the big tree this year. It was cold and windy--Caleb was frozen (by the shock of it all). In reality he came out with cold cheeks and nothing more. However, I came out sweating! Between lugging him and the tree across the frozen muskeg--I couldn't get my layers off fast enough. Interesting thing happens as you travel further and further through cold windy conditions. Trees that wouldn't ever make the cut at the beginning start to look better and better. One thing can be said about our poor mountain hemlock, I don't thing Charlie Brown will have a tree for his show this year, ha ha!
