Cutting a Christmas Tree

Today we made our annual trek to our favorite Christmas tree farm. It was so wonderful having Lilly with us again this year to go! The weather was sunny and cool - perfect! Lilly wore her sunglasses and Santa hat and seemed to really enjoy herself.

We got to go on a hayride around the farm, pulled by a tractor. (Our son made sure he could watch the tractor wheels going around.) Then after we found the tree we wanted, my older daughter and her dad cut it down. We rode with it on a trailer hooked to a four-wheeler back to the parking lot. (Our son was thrilled with those wheels too.)


The farm has a farmhouse on it that was built in the late 1800s. Wish we could see inside! We love old houses! They have a swingset and one of those inflatable jumps for visitors. My oldest wanted her brother to jump with her in it. But all he wanted to do was watch the generator powering the jump.

My only disappointment to our outing was that my camera batteries died early on. Too bad - it's such a great place to take pictures.
