My favorite thing!

I love getting the tree!
Not just getting but going and cutting down!
I was so excited!
My kids and my husband put up with me.
They love to tease me. 
But I like to think secretly they love it too!
Eric suggested we go to Home Depot and pick up an already cut tree.
What was he thinking?
We would miss all the fun of hiking around acres and acres of trees finding a perfect tree than moving on from it just in case the next one might be better!
There was a slight hiccup in my plans, as the place that we have gone for the last 9 years has closed.
I had to find a new tree farm. 



Let the adventure begin!




They were being so cute!
I caught this mid fall.
Very difficult trekking through brush and holly berries.

Brothers are always there to save her.

Forests, the best place to play army.

Night was falling fast so we had to hurry.
We also needed to pick up the pace because Elizabeth had been screaming since her fall.




We did find the perfect tree!

Poor Eric,
He loves me!

I usually take a family picture with the tree. 

I didn't get the family picture .
Oh well.
Elizabeth and I enjoyed the fire while the boys took care of the tree.
We finished up with our hot cider!
Love this adventure every year!

Where did you end up going to get the tree? I second that Eric does love you tremendously. He is a good man and you two are made for each other. See you Friday for our outing!
