When Todd was getting his haircut last month he heard about a tree farm where you could pick and cut down your own tree. So we decided to try it out this year. Obviously the kids dressed the part - I mean shorts and flip flops just scream Christmas tree. Ha. When we got there they gave us a stick so we would know what height to get our tree. It's a good thing too because the trees look much smaller outside than when you get them home.
We had to do a little trimming when we got home so that it would fit inside and we trimmed up a few branches to even everything out. The tree is so much bigger than any other tree we've ever bought - and since it's so fresh the needles hurt. We had to wear gloves and I ended up with a big cut on one finger. So worth it - the tree is awesome!!
Todd finishing it off with tinsel - the only problem is that because this tree is twice the size of our other ones we ran out and had to buy way more :)
