Christmas Tree Hunting

Well, it's almost Christmastime and we don't have a tree yet!

Here, Tristan stopped and gave us that look, "Mom. Dad. Are we getting a tree yet?"

So we all bundled up and headed north to an amazing Christmas tree farm where we could pick out our own tree.

This is where the owners of the farm live. They only sell trees for 2 weekends and they were packed!


Here, amongst the grove of pine trees, Tristan hangs out with Dad.


And Mom.


He really enjoyed running through all the trees until we found the tree that was perfect. And this year we were kind enough to let someone else cut down the tree for us. :)


But, unfortunately, Tristan was not very happy with us carrying the cut-down tree. He was okay with us cutting it and setting it down on the ground, but carrying it was rather distressful to the little man.


Now we have our tree and it is time to head home. Notice Julia's look of amazement as we just successfully stuffed an 8 foot tall tree into the back of our rented SUV.


Another tree victory.
