Down on the (Tree) Farm

Every year our ENTIRE family goes to a Christmas Tree Farm in search of the perfect tree for our houses. This year was no different! We had a total of three households present on this quest which consisted of seven adults (I guess Matthew counts as an adult now!), four dogs, three trees and two small boys. Spirits and energy were high as we tromped through the fields in search of our trees. This occasion took place a few weeks ago during our "heat wave" in December, so it was a bit tough to really get into the Christmasy spirit, but listening to Christmas music on the way helped! Although my parents were present, they were crafty enough to not get caught in ANY pictures... They're smarter and quicker than they look! I hope you enjoy the pictures below...


I know it's not the best picture of us, but Sam took it all by himself and it's the only one of the three of us from that day. As you can see, Michael was thrilled to be there! :)


Sam found a "Charlie Brown" tree at first.

Ah, this one's better, and even his size!


Joseph was just happy to be along for the ride!



The Tallie Boys expertly sawing down their tree.


The two smallest Tallie Boys assisting Michael with our tree. Joseph really got into it!


The wagon ride back to the entrance.
This is how our tree turned out. Not bad, huh?


This is our beautiful angel that has been on the top of each of our trees. She was the first Christmas decoration Michael and I bought together. Awww, sappy, I know, but sweet!

Merry Christmas Everyone!
