Talon, Kaitlyn, and I loaded up with Papa and Granny in their truck, and set out on a mission to find our Christmas tree. We went to a tree farm that we found last year. It's huge with a big selection, and it has a lot of perks... you can pick any tree you want- as tall as you want, and it's only $20, they cut it down with a chain saw and haul it to your vehicle with their big tractor, and basically load it for you, and they hand out candy canes (this is a big perk when you have kids involved!).
It was a chilly, but beautiful, sunny day. The kids were bundled up in their coats and boots, and we were off!
We set out on a little jaunt into the back of the tree farm because I wanted a tall tree (8-9 feet). The kids loved it. Whenever I found one that was nice and showed it to them, Talon would say, "No, I think we need to go more down there" and point further down the hill. In other words, he was just wanting to go on a big hike!
It didn't take us long until we found the one. It was really tall, but the guy said he could cut a little off the bottom. He trimmed to what he estimated was about an 8 or 9 feet tree. Perfect!
The kids enjoyed watching the tree come down. I enjoyed the fact that we didn't have to go after it with a little hand saw!
