Getting our Christmas tree – 2011

We had a fun-filled weekend; it makes me sad having to head back to work on a Monday. 

It started out on Saturday morning, right after breakfast, with us packing up everyone’s snow gear and heading out to a local cut-your-own-tree farm. Ever since Cory & I have been married, we’ve always cut down our own Christmas tree (except last year when we had two 4 months old at home with a sitter and made a quick choice of a pre-cut tree) – it’s a tradition I look forward to doing as a family every year. This was the boys’ first time helping pick out the tree. This was also the first time we had the boys all dressed up in their winter gear, from snow boots to hats…they weren’t too impressed. They didn’t mind being all bundled up but didn’t really think walking, or moving of any sort, was possible.

We made the search for our “perfect” tree short & sweet. The boys supervised Daddy while he cut it down and we all enjoyed some apple cider and animal crackers/cookies in the farm’s shed afterwards. It was a fun, family morning and we came home with a beautiful tree.
