The Tree

Last year we decided to go to a tree farm to chop down our Christmas tree and liked it so much we decided to do it again this year.

After reading an article in Country Living about how it is actually more green to chop down a tree than to use an artificial one, I was all for it.

IMG_4252 I have so many pictures from our tree outing so I am not editing any of them.  They are coming at ya straight out of my camera.  Eva thinks she sees the perfect tree.

    We love going to the tree farm too … we’ve done it for years!! 1 of my favorite Christmas traditions!! Of course, we all pick out a completely different “perfect” tree, then it’s a fight to see whose tree wins out and gets to come home with us! And .. I always take a ton of pictures! Love the bus with the old fashioned lights on the side.

    that bus is so cool.
    sadly….we have a fake tree. our neighbors sold us theirs a few years back. i was sad.
    but we have it.
    and it’s pretty enough.
    i miss hunting down a real one though.

    We’re going to try to go to the tree farm Saturday morning. I tried to convince Jim to go last weekend, but couldn’t do it.

    I’m sorry Cole was having a meltdown – but I love that photo!
