~~ On the beach in Scituate, MA ~~ August 2011 ~~: It's Christmas Time at The Flynn House

I can't believe we've had our tree for a week already! We cut it down last Sat! BEFORE DECEMBER 1st!!! Craziness! But, lots of fun! We found a little GEM of a place to cut our tree, Miracle Acres Farm in Milford. They offer complementary hot cocoa or cider by the campfire and wagon rides. I felt like I was 7 .. running from tree to tree saying "HOW 'BOUT THIS ONE???" Check out the pic's!

That's the one!

Here's Johnny Appleseed:

check out the candid's.. I was pretty proud of myself!

Here we were enjoying our hot cocoa: (w/our good friends the Apovian's)

I love this picture..... I think "serenity" when I see it... (am I getting all sappy??)

and the girls by the campfire:

that night, Keelyn stayed over Kelsey's house and Jack took Ryley to the movies. Delaney had full reign over the tree.. here she was .. loving every second she had it to herself!

And Addy getting her photo op in:

and the finished product:

So this weekend was "craft fair galore". I think there were at least 9 fairs within a 1 mile radius. By the end of the day, the town had planned to have "caroling and lighting of the tree ". We decided to go. I believe it may have been about 30 degrees out .. very very cold! Anyway, we "weathered" the storm, caroled along with the rest of Milford, and watched the tree light up! Here are some shots of tonight:
