We had a "kick off to Christmas" kind of day.

| We began our day at the USFS Supervisor's office to purchase our Christmas tree cutting permits. "In addition to the traditional experience, the permitted collection of
smaller diameter trees, with a trunk of 6 inches in diameter or less,
from selected areas will contribute to a reduction of over-growth." Look at us being all helpful! |

| Next stop was Valhalla's Grand Hall for a festive holiday decorating party with great food and friends and a whole lot of merry. |

| How magical to be at the Heller estate (1922) and to transform it for Christmas. |

| It was a reunion of sorts, to be together with everyone we volunteered with all summer. |

| After lunch at Bob and Jenny's, Jenny and I went 'hunting' for Sugar Pine cones. Pinus lambertiana, is the tallest and most massive pine and has the longest cones of any conifer. We search everywhere for these prized cones and stumbled upon this darling family compound. |
Getting our Christmas tree cutting permit, decorating for the holidays while Christmas carols played, and finding Sugar Pine cones...
♪♫It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas♫♪.
