Getting the tree

We went to get our Christmas tree last night. No, we didn't don our hiking gear and take lumberjack paraphernalia, we just headed down the road to a local, pre-cut forest on Hwy 44 a few miles from our house.

This was Talon's first year going to get the tree (well, and Katie's, too!). He didn't offer too much input, but it was fun going as a family, and near the end he enjoyed walking up and down the rows between the trees (of course, Mommy had to take lots of pictures!). It's usually quite an ordeal finding the perfect Noble Fir, but we got a pretty good one and it only took about a half hour to pick it out. (The last time we went, it turned into an all-day event...Uuugh!) Or, maybe we just aren't as picky now because we have to haul 2 kids around in the cold!
