Christmas Tree Hunting

We had another successful Christmas Tree Hunting expedition, despite the weather.  The wind was blowing like crazy, something like 35 MPH gusts. 

The kids did a little bit of sledding and playing in the snow.  We have no snow at home, so this was their first opportunity this year.  Madi is now worried that we won't have snow for Christmas.

My kids crack me up. Last night as Madi and I were cleaning up from dinner, we had an interesting conversation.
Madi: Mom, I don't think we should have turkey for Thanksgiving.
Me: Really, what do you think we should eat instead of turkey.
Madi: I don't know, I just don't think we should have turkey.
Me: Why not?
Madi: We should save the turkeys.
Me: What do you mean?
Madi: We should save the turkeys. If we don't eat one at Thanksgiving that is one less turkey that has to be killed.
Me: OK, well what about chickens, don't you like chicken, chicken nuggets.
Madi: Oh, we can still have chicken. We don't eat too much.
Me: And cows (beef)?
Madi: We can eat cow, they stink anyway and they are dirty.
Me: Ohhhh Madi.
