Cutting down on our own tree is probably one of my favorite traditions, and having our family here this year made it even more special. The tree farm that we usually go to was closed this year, and we were all pretty disappointed. However, there was another one to too far from us that offered some of the things we love, and so we headed there on Saturday afternoon.
It was cold, but the sun was shining, and the wind wasn't as fierce as had it been the last couple of days. We were all bundled from head to toe, and I don't think there is anything much cuter than chubby cheeks stuffed inside a snow hat!
After riding on the horse-drawn wagon around the tree farm, we went to pick out our tree. Some years it takes a long time, and other years just a few minutes. I thought it would take a little longer this year, but we found it fairly quickly. Ryan helped his dad cut it down with the saw, and we were ready to head back. While the tree was being shaken, baled, and drilled, we headed inside to enjoy the warmth. They had some really cute trains set up, which the kids loved.
Cutting down a tree makes you hungry, of course, so we all went out to get pizza at one of our favorite places. It was just so fun--all of us together, and enjoying a perfect day.

Such a fun tradition. (Have to ask-have you ever cut one down and gotten home and found it TOO BIG???)
You have such a beautiful family.
Love all the cute pictures. Chritmas traditions are just about the best thing in the world. I might have to come scoop up some of your needles to stick in my vacuum bag...it makes the house smell so yummy!
