The day after Thanksgiving each year
We drive to the tranquil mountains of NC to get our Christmas Tree

thru it for a road......amazes me

Can't take curvy roads......don't come here

Going down the mountain

Oh my goodness!! Your latest blog post reminded me of my childhood and all the different things I "felt sorry for" when I was a little girl. The toys left outside in the rain, the pumpkins that didn't get chosen, the Christmas trees that were left on the lots after Christmas was over, etc., etc. Your little girl is a very compassionate person and it sounds like she has a mom that is doing a great job or nurturing that in her!!

i have no clue what jumbo boiled peanuts are! but it sounds like a fantastic tradition to start the best phase of the holiday season!
I live in the midst of the NC apple orchards... in the curvy roads :)
What amazing fun memories you're making.
