We Finally Got Our Tree!!

Yesterday we had an adventure to the tree farm. We usually go the day after Thanksgiving, but time seemed to escape us this year! The farm we usually go to was out of trees so we tried a new place we found on the Internet. After driving for miles on bumpy back roads, we saw a sign that said U-cut, U-dig. Matt and I looked at each other just hoping that didn't mean you have to dig the stump out of the ground after you cut your tree. It didn't. Apparently there are people that like to dig their tree out of the ground and plant it. Who has time for that???
Anyway, the farm turned out to be pretty cool. There were 40 acres of trees and we just drove around until we spotted an area we liked. There was also Christmas music blasting throughout the whole farm. The kids thought it was coming from underground. Here are some pictures from our day!

I had to capture this sweet brother-sister moment. Unfortunately these moments are few and far between lately!

Here's our tree.....and Ava using the saw for the first time. It's kind of a right-of-passage!

After the tree was "safely" tied to the top of the car, we sat around the fire and had hot cocoa to warm up. It was nice since we couldn't feel our fingers even with mittens on!! The kids had a fun time getting the tree....now we just have to find a moment to decorate it! I feel like we're finally starting to get ready for Christmas!
