Christmas Trees and Coldstuff

Virginia for the most part had been very mild with temperatures sometimes dipping in the 30's. No worries... Big Bear in so-cal get much colder than that! - By talking to the locals we knew it would get colder most likely in February, so we thought we had plenty of time to shop gloves, coats and snow shovels and what-nots.. Turns-out everybody was wrong.. Global warming is a sham and Al Gore is a freakin' liar!.. The night we planned on getting a Christmas tree turned out to be one of the coldest nights so-far 19 degrees!.. it felt like -19

To keep the belly warm, the troops motivated and to be in step with any Jacobs family outing, it always customary to begin with FOOD. Here's some shots of us at a local family restaurant called 'Friendlys'.. Food was great but much pricier than our usual Micky D or Taco Bell outing. We figured it was a special occasion and deceided to give it a try.

After our awesome meal we treckked out to Stafford to score ourselves a tree at a Christmas Tree Farm. The place was pretty cool and lots of photo op type of props.. but it was so stinkin cold we did the rush-rush to keep the blood pumping and to stay warm.

After nabbing the tree it was time to haul it home and decorate!

Several days after we got the tree a surprise guest came to visit us from California.. Aunt Velma!.. Not sure if these pictures show it.. but they were very excited.
