The tree farm is one of those family traditions that Hubby is just not ready to let go of. I think a couple of the "kids" still like it, too, so I guess until it's just the two of us, we will continue on with it!
We always mean to get there early, then Friday after Thanksgiving dawns and no one feels like getting up and moving too fast. So, by the time we get there, they are very busy. Which is not all that terrible according to Hubby's philosophy - where else do we have to go and what else do we have to do?
We were going to skip the tractor ride out there - our peeps are older and we can walk out to the trees ready to cut,
But The Girl wanted Teddy to enjoy the ride. And he did! So many things to smell.
Firstborn was at work, otherwise I would have gotten a pic of the four of them together. That's harder and harder to manage nowadays.
There are lots of photo ops, even with cloudy skies.
Someone had the idea to spray paint a few. Surprisingly, they were selling! Scout and I couldn't resist taking some pics of them - the purple one is probably living large in some hipster's den right now.
The one we settle on is almost always 7-8 ft tall and so wide you can't easily sit on one side of the couch and that's exactly how my peeps like it. For them, the bigger the better in Christmas trees!
