O Christmas Tree Farm!

So we had a pretty cool day the other day. We went to a Christmas Tree Farm to chop down our own tree. It was a first for me! Ross and I were amazed at how pretty all of the trees were. There were four or five different kinds and they were all beautiful!

Here the kids are in the tree sled. Their natural inclination? To hop in a go for a ride, of course...

It's funny to see them in a sled without snow, though. Ross and Zoey went running off and I was left to pull Max in the sled for a bit. He wanted to ride over all the bumps! He is getting heavy, is all I can say about that.

We searched and searched. It wasn't hard, though. Like I said, there were tons of trees that would do. I felt myself being a little Charlie Brown-like though, feeling sorry for the puny trees and wanting to take one home. When I told Ross, he just laughed. Typical of me, I suppose. I love the underdog. Anyway, he quickly explained that those little guys, they are still growing and will be good for next year. So, I was okay with that. And then, we found our Christmas friend...


And here is my lumberjack going to work... (he brought his own saw, by the way. the old guys at the farm liked that!)



Alright, Dad... Load it up in the sled. I'm Ready!!


And we're off... Our tree went from living on the tree farm, to in our house in less than an hour. I just love that, definitely a benefit of country living. (I know, I just milk that whole country living thing). Anyway, decorating pictures soon.
