Picking out the Christmas tree is an annual event for the Beckham family. We get a free ticket from Woodland Realty and have a great time at Teusink's Farm. It begins with everyone standing in the cold freezing while Sarah hees and haws over which would be the "perfect" tree to take home. This year we ended up taking home the first tree we looked at, but of course, I had to inspect several others before realizing it actually was the "right one". Then, head to the lodge for hot choco, hot cidar, and donut holes. Next, it's off to the Teusink barn to crawl through the hay maze (Sam did this with Uncle Alex) and then to pet all the barn animals (cows, pigs, goats, and rabbits). After this, Sam loves to head down to the pond area where he can hand feed the goats. Finally, we end the day with a family picture taken in a Christmas sleigh. The last 2 years, Jon and Jen and Mya have joined us and this year Mom and Dad and Alex came too. The only bad part about the day was that Sam was feeling really awful. He came down with a terrible cold (I think he caught mine). The poor guy was so exhausted that when we got home, he walked straight upstairs and put himself to bed. Somebody call Guiness! This is the same kid who has refused to nap since the day he was born! :) The rest of the day was spent decorating the house for Christmas and watching the first big snow fall of the year. It really put me in the Christmas mood!

Great pictures! I'm so glad Sam had a good long nap and is feeling better. It was fun, but a little chilly!
