We ventured out to get our tree on Sunday and it turned out to be quite a wonderful day. At first we thought we would just go to Fred Meyers and get our tree (like we did last year) and then go to a Christmas tree farm later to get the "experience". So we went to FM but the trees were looking very sad, and while it would've been nice of us to adopt a nearly dead tree, we decided it was best to go cut our own down.
So we drove out to a Christmas Tree farm close by and had the best time. We roasted marshmellows, sat with Santa (kind of), and walked through the "forest" to find our perfect tree.
Not only did we find our perfect tree, but Bria was the one to find it.

| Bria would not go within 20 feet of Santa, if Reese could've talked she probably would have objected too. |
 |
| Roasting marshmellows (Bria isn't glaring at anyone, she's just enjoyoing her marshmellow) |
 |
| They even have fake snow! This was Bria's favorite part, she would run and dance in the falling snow. |
So after we had some fun we ventured out to find the tree. We couldn't believe how hard it was to find, apparently we are picky. We wanted a 7 footer that was somewhat full but at the same time a little thin. We told Bria what we were looking for so she could keep her eyes out. Brian and I almost settled for a tree when Bria yelled, "How about this one!"
We looked over and saw our tree.

This was the first time we have ever done a U cut and it was definitely a fun experience. We are hoping that our tree lasts longer since it is fresher than we normally get.
 |
| Reese was very impressed with Dad's muscles and ability to saw that tree down |
 |
| I know you want that hat because, well, it's ADORABLE! My cousin Lanie is all sorts of talented |
 |
| Santa took a break, so Bria agreed for a picture on the sled :) |
 |
| Sheep are funny, so are husbands :) |

| Cuties |
It was just the best Holiday experience. We all had such a good time. When we came home Reese took a 3 hour nap and we decked the house in Christmas stuff while listening to Christmas music. We got the tree up, decorations set up, and outside lights on. We are ready Santa!
I love Christmas time!

That looks like so much fun! What a cool place. Your tree is perfect! The hat looks so cute because of the adorable baby wearing it.
