O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

Today we picked out our very first fresh Christmas tree! EVERYONE here in the Northwest has real trees and they think it is SO strange that we've never had one.
The Christmas Tree farm is literally down our road so we didn't even make Ledger ride in his carseat.
They had a big barn with fires, hot chocolate, a gift shop, Santa and live animals. Ledger loved feeding the goats.
We did a lot of walking around to find our tree (and wear the little man out before naptime).
Here are the boys watching them tie up our tree. They put it in a shaker to get all the loose needles out, tie it up and load it in your truck.
We found a great tree and we're excited to have the smell of Christmas in our home for a few weeks!

I love the tree and what a great memory going to a tree farm. I have never done that.

I can't read anything you write cause your backdrop is red and so is your writing! But looks fun. We are all about real Christmas trees!

I changed the background color Em. It looks fine on my laptop but I couldn't read it on my phone either.
