A note about this year’s trees: after our usual supplier’s trees were unexpectedly delayed, we were fortunate to obtain trees through auntleahs.org, a charity that helps prevent children in foster care from becoming homeless.
Special thanks to Alan at Bowen Freight for last-minute re-routing to make this happen.
