While we were visiting Kevin's family for Thanksgiving, we went to a Christmas tree farm the day before we came home to cut down our Christmas tree. It's the first time we've done this as a family and it just might become a family tradition from now on! Not only did we have a blast but the tree only cost $15! The boys had so much fun running around and looking at all the trees!
Myles when we first arrived!
Connor stopping for just a second so I could snap a quick picture!
Besties for life!
And they are off!
Connor had a blast jumping over this small tree! He wanted to cut it down for his bedroom but we told him we couldn't because it needed to get larger!
Pa Pa measuring the tree!
Myles running wild!
Our family with our tree. Connor wasn't cooperative at all!
Time to cut it down!
Myles and Kevin getting ready to take the tree to our van!
Hard workers!
Of course Connor was no one near when it was time to drag the tree but he was proud of himself for finding this piece of ice! It was so cold there!
And yes, our tree made it the 700 miles home in great shape! We wrapped it in a blanket and tied it tight! Out of the three trees cut down that day by the family, ours was the only one that had a nice smell to it and the smell lasted until the day we took it down, which was the weekend after new years. I miss the freshness already!
