Christmas Tree Day 2025

On Friday morning, we met our friends at Hart's Tree Farm.  This year, the deGoa family decided to join us.  The Fraser firs were a little shorter than usual but we still found a great tree.  After loading it into our car, we drove to Rockford and were first in line at the Corner Bar which was great since we needed a table for 19 (we split into a kids table and an adult table).  The kids all talk about cutting down the tree and having lunch with everyone as one of their favorite holiday traditions and they all talk and have friended each other on social media.  When we got home, we got the tree set up.  Phil and Alex went to the KWings game to participate in a team fundraiser for Alex's hockey team.  Will and I stayed home to get the lights on the tree.  When they got home from the game we decorated.
