Over the hill and to our favorite local farm, same one where we got our pumpkins! And into their greenhouse, shed -type building. And, well, since it WAS only a week until Christmas, the picking were slightly thinned! But, we knew what we were looking for......and we found it!
While Daddy paid for our lovely tree, the kids and I checked out some of the other Christmas stuff! Colin had his eye on this tractor the whole time we were looking for a tree!
Bean got in on the tractor action too!
She also had some fun with the "tree scene"!
(I have no idea why, but this picture cracks me up)
By then we were ready to load up the tree! Always fun to watch!
(Oh, and check out the accommodating snow flurries! Just special for our tree picking day!)
So, we got home, the kids played in our 1/2" of snow and Daddy got the tree in the stand and put up in the dining room. Then we ate lunch and put the kiddos down for nap. While they were sleeping Daddy put up the lights and tinsel (YAY!!!) and I made some cookies. After nap, the kids helped us put the ornaments on!
This train was a big hit. Surprise, right?
All in all, not a bad little tree, huh?

That is so gorgeous! Gillian's smile cracks me up in the pink hat. I am allergic to Christmas trees so I am always envious of the whole tree cutting experience.
