12-8-07 Christmas Tree Shopping
We decided that this year, we were going to go out and check out the Christmas tree farm. I say that we are going to do it every year, but just never actually did it! The kids had a blast running through the growing trees trying to pick out the one that was just perfect for our famiy. We all found one and agreed on it for quite some time before realizing that it was already taken! Dagnabbit! Kolby then picked out one. It was a bit of a Charlie Brown tree we thought and everyone vetoed his choice.    Needless to say, that didn't go over so well. Poor, poor Charlie Brown!  Finally, after about an hour out in the freezing cold, we found the tree that couldn't have been more perfect!   Unfortunately, we didn't think about bringing the saw to cut the tree down though. *insert disappointed face here* So, we had to depend on the kindness of the gentleman running the farm to cut it down for us....we shall know better next year.    Jeff still got his kicks in though! Take that tree.....muwahahahaha! What? Does this equate to checking out a car by kicking the tires? :)  Upon getting the tree home,  we realized that this monster of a tree was only about TWO feet too tall to fit in our living room, so Jeff got to do some major cutting on the tree anyway! *laughs* He cut it down enough so that it just barely had enough room for the absolutely smallest tree topper we had to be able to adorn the top. Really, that was just luck though....he hadn't really thought that far in advance! Tehehehe.     While the kids helped Jeff, I started dinner preparations as we all sang along to the Christmas music that filled our home!    More pictures to come of the decorating of the tree later....as soon as I can steal Zoe's camera from her so that I can download them that is! |
