When Matt and I got married we started some traditions of our own and one of them is cutting down our Christmas tree. We go to a tree farm and find just the right tree, cut it down, bring it home, and enjoy the smell of fresh pine (and deal with the needles that drop on the floor). So, when we had kids we continued the tradition and it has been so fun to share it with them. When we moved into our house, the previous owners left their Christmas tree for us because they didn't have room for it. What a deal we got! It is a 9ft. artificial tree that is perfect in our living room. So now the kids get to go and pick out a tree that will go on the landing by their bedrooms. They get to decorate it with ornaments of their choice and special ones that they make.
We bundled up and headed out to Sunbrite tree farm to find the perfect tree. After a little bit of searching, a potty break by a tree for Anna, and a little more searching, we found just the right one! Matt got the cutting started and the kids took their turns and in no time it was down (or should I say up when looking at the picture). The kids hauled it back to the guys who shake it and wrap it up for us and we were on our way home. It was a successful, fun, and absolutely special day!!
