Choosing our Christmas Tree

12/10/11
Ten years ago it was the first year that Mark and I were married and we had a fresh (real) Christmas tree, but we haven't had one since then.  This being our first year in our first home (that we own) it seemed like a good time to celebrate the holidays with a fresh tree again.  So, we headed out to a local lot to snag a tree.

We wandered the rows of trees...

The boys were excited when the workers gave them little candy canes...

We found the tree.

The workers pulling our tree off the lot...

They drilled holes into the trunk to it would fit right into our tree stand...

Then they taught the boys about how to tell how old the tree is by looking at the rings on the cross section of the tree trunk...

And lastly they loaded the tree on top of our van!

And then we headed to Krispy Kreme for some breakfast doughnuts!





A little clip of the boys "helping" Mark set up the tree inside our house...
