Getting Our Christmas Tree

Seeing as we live on a lot of property we decided to cut down a Christmas tree where we live rather than purchasing one this year. We found out that this is a lot harder as most of the trees in the wild don't look anything like what a Christmas tree should look like. First things first...This is what it looked like on December 6th when we went to cut down our tree...which is one of the big reasons that we moved further south!

Here is cute Charlie helping us find our tree. He loves it when we go on these adventures because he can throw all the rocks he can find.

This is the tree that we finally chose after hiking around for about an hour...I think that it is actually a really nice one. It is also cool that we could get a really tall tree because one of our rooms has really tall ceilings.

Here is Charlie and I with the tree outside...we had to pull quite a bit of leaves and pine needles out of the tree before we brought it inside.

And here it is all up and before Charlie could start pulling ornaments off...not that perfect little Charlie would ever dream of doing that...but I have heard that other children his age do.
