This year we heard about a tree farm not far from our home. You get to go out and look for your tree, cut it down and bring it home. What fun!! We ventured out and the hunt began. It was full of caroling, sweet smells, family bonding time.....Oh wait, that was a dream.
Have you ever watch the movie "Christmas vacation", the opening scene when they are driving to the tree farm, the kids are SO excited to go(megan and the little guys were excited) we had some protesting and some not so excited kids(Ben).
Once there we were hoping for a bright light to shine upon "the tree", but that didn't happen. I was very overwhelmed! So many trees to pick from and it had to be "the perfect" tree. We would find "the one", but then we would find another one. Ben was full of support and led the christmas caroling....NOT!!! He was cold and was ready to go!!
We did find "the one" and had a really great time hunting for it. We got it cut down and then had it pulled by a 4wheeler to the car. Now that was the best part!!
We have it up and I am thinking it is kind of BIG! Oh well, we love Christmas around here so the bigger the better!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
I think the tree is a bit on the big side!!
On our way home!
Kids loved the ride and we loved that we didn't have to carry it all the way to the car!
Timber!!!
"The one"
