Christmas Trees & Santa

The 2nd Annual Bonfiglio-Schuemann Christmas Tree Hunt was held the Sunday after Thanksgiving. We started out at Big Boy for some much needed breakfast to keep our strength up for the tree hunting. Carl and Mimi are usually the ones who pick out the trees for their respective families and they tend to hunt for the perfect one (which can take a while). Well to my surprise, this year we found our tree within the first ten minutes of looking. That meant more time for hot chocolate and cookies!

Decorating the tree

We decided to use LED lights this year and as a result, the tree looked ... um, kinda spacey!

We took a trip to The Henry Ford to have Roman and Ruth sit on Santa's lap. The Santa is amazing and the place is just plain cool. Of course the kids were a little taken aback by Santa, but when Roman was asked what he wanted for Christmas he clearly answered "Choo-choo ... Thomas the Train".
