The day of the tree hunt. We do hunt wildlife on this side of the Lloyd family on occasion, usually a fine melon at the Farmers' Market, but today we hunted the big game. A Christmas tree. Or as Emmy seems to say, "Crisppus." It was cold, wet and snowy. Very Crisppus-like.
Rosa was quite the logger.

But took a couple short cuts...

Emmy spotted the tree, I believe the quote was, "That's the one. I nuv it." Cue family poses.

After Daddy cut it down and had it sent to our carriage, we went to warm our trotters at the barn, and there near the manger, I had a vision of "The Jesus."
