For the past couple of weekends . . .


 Christmas tree bailer - put the tree in, pull out a "bundled up" tree --- much easier to transport!  These two fellas in the foreground of this picture are major players in the Christa's world cast of characters (Terry (l), Mike (r)).  But throughout the past couple of weekends they were just "Tree guys" ... driving tractors, loading trees, drilling holes, bailing, and laughing with everyone else.  The whole season makes people in a good mood.  Such a lovely magical time.  Amen!

 
What it looks like when you're standing in a snow storm ... big fat fluffy flakes --- MAGIC!

 The monster truck outside of Christa's Country Corner and Sam's Nursery, filled to the brim with children who came for the hay ride to the Christmas tree farm to select their PERFECT Christmas tree!  It's been busy and FUN!

 This, my friends, is one BIG Christmas tree --- bailed and ready to tie on a car/truck/van/rig!

 Some of the guys waiting for a tree to bail and load ... frozen but smiling!

 Our most precious customer --- Rudolph! She was absolutely adorable. And her dad was a good sport!

 Sam (on the left) owns the Christmas tree farm and here he is with his brother David.

 The proper way to catch snowflakes! These customers had the right technique and everything!

 Happy Holidays! Christmas trees on board and ready to get decorated!

Children seeing snow - probably for the very first time.  SO CUTE!
Paul worked in the customer lot, putting trees on the cars and keeping things moving along ... until today.  Today they had him driving one of the hay wagons via tractor so the customers could get to the Christmas tree field and pick out their trees.  He has had two weekends of absolute and complete FUN ... albeit through the snow, sleet, freezing rain and freezing temps.  He is still grinning ear to ear.  It is SO MUCH FUN to be around happy people who were having such a good time.  I helped out inside the store where we handed out hot chocolate or hot apple cider to frozen happy people.  Also, there was the opportunity for the customers to get lunch (sandwiches, soups, etc.) after the hay ride - or even before.  There was a good time had by all!
Life is good up here folks! Go get a Christmas tree!
Happy Holidays!
Paul & Cheri
