Cutting Down Our Christmas Tree

I sure do love this tradition! We found an even better place to get our tree from than last year.
First off, picture a 40 minute drive down country roads, listening to Christmas music as a family, gorgeous scenery on each side... large farms, trees... gorgeous!
Then, this tree farm was great! Huge piles of firewood, acres and acres of trees to choose from, a tire swing, and when you're all done picking your tree, you can roast marshmallows while listening to Christmas music.
To top it all off, as the man (it's just a husband and wife that own this tree farm) is helping Adam tie our tree on the top of our van, his wife comes out of their house to offer us Chocolate Chip cookies just warm from the oven.
All this.... "what do you say Mastercard?... Priceless?" Better than that...only $30.00 tree and all!
I told you it was awesome!




This picture really doesn't do the tree justice. It was just so pretty. In fact, I didn't take it down until mid-January and even then I really wasn't ready to yet.
