Trim the Tree

Last Sunday the kids, Dex and I took a trip to the Trinity Tree Farm in Issaquah, WA. It was cold, raining, wet, damp and any other word that sums up miserable. But that didn't stop me from forcing my family to stop and pose at every photo opportunity, it didn't stop me from forcing them to ride the little train that goes around the park (occasionally stopping to give tree cutters directions on where to fine twine), and it most certainly did not stop me from stalking Santa. I tried, desperately, to get a picture of him with the kids but they refused. I even went as low to tell them that, "Here's your chance to put a face to the name. If Santa doesn't know what you look like, you won't get anything you asked for!"

Their response?

"Whatever, Lani."

Pffftt....so much for the magic of Christmas.

Anyway, here are a few photos from our trip. I just got a new lens and was experimenting. Most of them turned out pretty bad (I clearly have no idea how to use the new lens).
