The Annual Search for a Christmas Tree

Due to the wacky weather we have had starting out our winter (lots of rain rather than snow), our tree hunting plans changed the day we had planned to go. Instead of traveling a long distance to our favorite tree farm we ended up going to one closer by.  It was not nearly the same experience which was disappointing, but the end result is the same (although I kind of beg to differ as I believe a shaking machine would have helped get the dead crap out of our tree instead of having it drop off every time a cat crawls under it at our house).  After traipsing through a field for quite some time we finally found a tree thought we thought would work - funny how it always looks different when you get it home!  All that really mattered was that the kids were happy and excited, mission accomplished!

Ready to go now that the search is over.
