Today was the day to go find the "perfect tree". We went to the top of the meadow, parked the truck and hiked through out the woods along the Rainbow Trail. Both of the girls' personalities were seen so clearly in this process. Sydney walked about 12 steps declaring she'd found the right one. It wasn't really a good tree; rather, she was just tired and ready to call it a day. Emily, on the other hand, was not going to be at peace until she found THE tree. The turmoil she felt was quite evident. But alas, after an hour of hiking, we ended up 50 feet from the truck and there it was, the Fox Christmas tree. Syd was delerious and Em was satisfied, so down it came.
