Finding the Perfect Tree


Saturday we set out in search of the perfect tree


It was freezing but we were determined


We walked around and


looked and looked (some of us might have been a little silly while looking)


And finally we settled on this cute little tree


William insisted that I stood in front of it so he could get a picture
I figured since I chase him around all day with a camera its only fair


Last year we made the mistake of getting a huge tree
On the farm in they all look a lot smaller then they do in your house
When we got ours home last year it touched the ceiling


So this year we thought it would be better to go a little smaller
But when we got it home it seemed really tiny
Next year I think we will bring a measuring tape:)


After cutting our tree down we went home
and watched Christmas movies and started decorating
It was the perfect way to get in the holiday spirit!

What a great day! Isn't cutting down a tree a great way to make memories? We've cut down a tree every year the last 18 years...until this year. I was ready to make it easier, but we've got so many great memories tucked away - and the kids have all these memories growing up and cutting down trees every year. It's been great! William will have the same. It's a great tradition! And you can't duplicate that smell of fresh cut tree...

Ahhh! What great pictures! We're slacking, but I will make sure we go out and get the girls a tree this weekend - they deserve it!

What great fun. Allergies dictate the artificial tree for our family. Merry Christmas!
