It has a fun hayride to take you out to whatever field has the perfect Christmas tree this year....here are the girls waiting for their ride:>)
Of course, this Sunday it was grey and foggy and a little misty, nothing to worry about really. The weather would hold while we chose our tree.
And here it is. we found it within 15 minutes! Wonderful husband does the cutting and hauling, because that is man work and we don't do it. We are really only there to obsess about the perfection of the tree! Aren't men great though?
This is where the pictures end because about 30 seconds later the skies opened up and we were absolutley drenched in a winter downpour! It was only about 38 degrees out there! We ran to the warming shed (they have one in each field! YAY!) and waited for the wagon to come pick us up. After the tree spent the day on the front porch drying out, we set it up last night. It isnt fully decorated yet, I will share when it is, but I can honestly say, it's the perfect tree:>)
Oh Kathy, I just adore your family! You are so close and do everything together. That is just how we are trying to raise our boys! I love that little cabin at the tree farm! Dont you just love Michigan tree farms?
ReplyDeleteLove ya Kathy! Oh and yes, my Christmas decor will be pink :) I hope to post pictures very soon.

That is a wonderful family tradition.....your girls look so happy.
ReplyDeleteYour tree is gorgeous !! I miss the piney smell. We stopped getting a live tree as they are almost dried out by the time they sell them here. But I grew up with a live tree and just love it !! cant wait to see yours decorated. :)
ReplyDeleteOH, Kathy, your pictures are beautiful...it looks like a winter wonderland:) What a perfect place to hunt for a tree!
ReplyDeleteGlad you found the perfect one. Can't wait to see it all decorated:)

What a perfect place to get a tree. And is that snow I spy? It's been so long since we've had it around here I've almost forgotten what it looks like. Maybe this year we'll get some kind of accumulation. We due.
ReplyDeleteKathleen, the girls are just beautiful. And, what a perfect tree. Can't wait to see all the decorations.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun! Your girls are absolutely beautiful.

We're a live tree family too. We've never gone to a tree farm to chop one down, but it looks like a fun thing to do!

Kathy I wish I could have been there to join in on what looks like an amazing day. Mary
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tradition! Your girls are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteWow! What beautiful photos! It really looks very Christmasy! Can you send some of that snow down here . . . around Christmas Eve would be nice. Living in the south we get a dusting of snow maybe once a year, and two years ago we even had an ice storm and were without power for three days. And once we did manage to make a two foot snowman, but we had to use up all the snow from the front AND backyard!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, and thanks for your kind comment on my blog. God bless!
beautiful photos! it looks so much like christmas there! i can almost smell that beautiful tree from here though! : ) karri
ReplyDeleteOooh, look at all of that beautiful snow. Here in Australia we're struggling with a drought - and it is hot! Today, looking at your post, I truly am dreaming of a white Christmas. Your photos and blog paint it so beautifully.

Looks like a wonderful time and yours girls are so beautiful..what sweet smiles.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy, We always cut our own tree, too, but this year we had to get an artificial one because of my husband's surgery. It will take a little getting used to..
ReplyDeleteYour daughters are so cute! Looks like you all had a wonderful time, even with the downpour!
xoxo,
Mary
Ouu Kath I would love that cute lil cabin in the middle of our woods! Would'nt that be wonderful?
ReplyDeleteIts funny we used to go to the tree farm every year when the kids were little, even being way preggo we went but now that the kids are grown and there is no bundleing up 3 little ones and driving for hours to cut the perfect tree down, we use an artificial tree!
Does'nt make sense! I love real trees!
Can't wait to see yours all decorated!
Hugz, Dolly
Hi Kathy! The Christmas trees in the snow, that is so beautiful! Your girls are lovely! We have a little somthin' for you on our blog...come see! J & J
ReplyDeleteIt IS a perfect tree! Good thing you found it before the downpour.
ReplyDeleteI see quite a few people are posting these days about Christmas tree farms, myself included! We have pines, cedar and cypress where I live.
So glad to see this wonderful tradition...we love live trees...nothing smells as good as fresh pine!
ReplyDeleteHave a very blessed day!
smiles, kari and kijsa
