Oh Christmas tree.....
With all of my happiness about blogging one year, I nearly forgot about doing a christmas tree post!!
As always, we planned to get our christmas tree the Saturday after Thanksgiving. With rain in the forecast, we postponed it to Sunday, and were happy to hear that the weather would be nice. Last year, it was really cold, so when we arrived and the sun was shining, we were thrilled.
Problem was, it was TOO hot. Our truck temp put it somewhere in the low to mid 60's and when you are walking around a tree farm for 2 hours, makes it no fun. For some reason, out of the 10,000 trees on the farm, we could not seem to agree on one. Too fat, too short, too much dead on the inside....I think we *almost* took all of the fun out of it! We walked around the entire farm twice I think before going back to one that we originally labeled too wide. As we were debating over the size, a ladybug flew off and we deemed it to be a lucky tree, and we cut it down.
It IS a little wide for the place, but I still love it!
Cayleigh on the search for the perfect tree, riding on the wagon. She found alot of perfect ones to cut down, they were about 3 feet tall, lol!
She got tired and needed a place to rest her head....
That's our tree! Cayleigh decided she wanted to carry it home.
She settled for helping daddy pull the wagon.
After much work, and many "No Cayleigh, those are glass" and "No Cayleigh, we do NOT throw ornaments", our tree is done!
