I know most people love their pre-lit fake Christmas trees, but I love
REAL trees! I love the tradition we have of heading to the forest and spending the day as a family finding our tree! Oh I LOVE the memories! One year Grace up-chucked on the way there, but she was ready for some fun by the time we arrived! Another year, Maggie the Basset hound accompanied us! Short legs, snow and big fallen trees are not a good match! One year a male in our family chose not to follow instructions (the name will be redacted to protect his fledgling ego) and ended up falling in a tiny Creek! Good thing we had found our tree, had our lunch and were just playing around. He unfortunately had to spend some time drying off in the car!
This year was the most snow we had ever had! It made for hard tracking, some of our wimpier members ended up back at the car, while we hoofed it through lots of snow searching for the TREE!

It was a great day, with more great memories!!! Some might not like our tree cause it's not "perfect"! But neither are we, so it fits us just right!!!

I think it's great that you go after a live tree. I know our kids loved doing that. Love you all. Mom and Dad P.
I think it is great that you go after a live tree. I know Blake and his siblings enjoyed tree hunting, even if it was at a tree farm. Love you guys, Mom and Dad P.
