Christmas begins!

I think it's safe to say that the Christmas season has officially been rung in this weekend! Yesterday was the annual Invermere Light-up with the winter parade, bonfires and hot chocolate. This morning we headed out (post rain) to find a tree for our livingroom... it was an interesting experience in mild weather with little snow around (all melted). Infact, we got all bundled up in anticipation of cooler weather & wind higher up the mountain road, only to find the perfect tree about 30 seconds after leaving our house. No joke. Kevin said, "hey, look at that one!". It was a "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" moment where the tree sings a perfectly pitched "Aaaaaaaaaahhh!!!" and you just know it's the one. BUT - the moment passed in a flash with the realization that our tree hunt would be cut violently short and really no fun at all. Seriously, 20 minutes of bundling up for 30 seconds of driving? I think not. So on we drove! The roads proved to be a challenge with watery ice but we eventually found another perfect tree (not quite as perfect to be honest, but still great!). Without further ado, here are some pics from the day: Tadaaaa!!! We had to re-arrange our house a bit but found something that works.
