We loaded up! Yes, We!

And headed to Zuni Tree and Alpaca Farm! I had never gone and cut down my own tree! So, Dynamo said we were going to have the experience!

Everyone was so friendly and happy! It is such a lovely time of year!

Then they wrapped it up tight with netting!

What a lovely day together! I enjoyed our time together so much! And we ended up with the most beautiful tree ever! To go with our lighted house that Dynamo worked so hard to light up!
