The Search for the Perfect Christmas Tree!










We have made it a Family Tradition to go get our Christmas Tree at a "Cut your own" Tree Farm. This is a tradition that I remember doing as a child. I also remember my Aunt Ruthie and Uncle Hap coming up to our house in Western Mass from CT every year to cut their tree down. One year, we must have been out there for hours trying to find the perfect tree for them, Betsey and I almost had frostbitten toes(ha,ha,ha)- what fun memories! This year we went with the Hydes the day after Thanksgiving. We went to a great Farm not far from their house. After walking around for who knows how long, we finally decided on this tree. It started snowing while we were at the Farm which really added to the Ambiance! The kids enjoyed Hot Cocoa afterwards in the Warming hut! Yay the tree is up and decorated- hopefully it will last until New Years!

How fun! Twice in his life Tim worked on a tree farm during the season harvesting trees. I loved it when he came home smelling of pine! Looking at your pictures makes me miss Maine!! Your tree is lovely. Merry Christmas.

Love the tree Kadi! I had to laugh because we carry ours down from upstairs fully decorated from last Christmas!!! Just have to plug in the lights and hope they still work, adjust a few ornaments, and voila, a tree!!! :)
