We tried a new tree farm this year - Hagg's out in Scholls. Very family friendly and helpful, and tons of great trees! It sometimes takes us quite a while to find and agree on the perfect tree, but it went quickly this year. I like the untrimmed Noble Firs, Makena likes the largest or the smallest one she can find, and Jamie likes the Douglas Firs (well, he used to anyways) - we usually end up with a 6 to 8ft trimmed Noble as our compromise. The tree always looks bigger and bushier when we put it up in the house! All the better for our assortment of ornaments tho.
It was only about 34 degrees, but the sun was shining so we were lucky. After we cut down the tree, we carried it to the road - where a truck came by and picked it up. It was then taken down (to where we were waiting in our nice, warm truck) to be shaken, wrapped and then loaded into our truck. Jamie loved that! Then we went to have some hot-chocolate and look at some holiday crafts, wreaths and farm animals down in a barn. We were too early to visit Santa...maybe next year.
