12 Days of Christmas :: The Perfect Tree

We've started a tradition to go out and cut our own tree.  This is our 2nd year doing it and it really is fun... especially when it's like 65 at the beginning of December... It almost makes it worse because you have more time to pick out THE perfect tree.

We headed to a farm not too far from home because we don't have a great car to bring it back on so the closer the better -- less chance of falling off.  And my little brother was in town and he'd never done it before so it had to happen.  Plus, he equals more man power to carry the tree in the house!
So we got there, plopped ourselves in the tractor...

Driven by Santa...

And were out in the beautiful field of trees under the sun trying to find our tree...

And we did...


But then we decided we didn't like it...

{see her little evil grin}



So we tried again...

Winner...


And then... When we got it home...

Realized we probably should have gone with the smaller one...



Ooops!  Happy Holidays!
