Friends for the Holidays

My favorite part of Christmas is seeing old friends.  We were delighted to find out early this morning that our Elf friend from our summer travels decided to stop by!  And he came with gifts!!!

Happy Holidays to all my friends and followers on this blog!  I hope you have a magical season - and even see an elf or two yourselves!

Time to Bring Home a Christmas Tree

When we pulled up to the Christmas Tree Farm, I spotted this little guy and had a good feeling we'd get lucky and find the perfect tree.

Turned out there were several elves at the farm!  Normally, they're pretty shy - but if you know where to look, you might get lucky.

This guy was a good hider.  

This little guy was very eager to help us cut down a tree.  Elves can be very helpful (if you're polite).

In the end we found the perfect tree and got it home.  If you're looking for an elf-filled experience buying your tree, try Erickson Brothers just south of Taylor's Falls.

Chilly weather

 As the wind gets colder, even the hardy elves are settling in for the winter.  I snapped this cozy picture of my own garden elf house.  Hope you like it - it fills me with a sense of warmth and peace.
