I grew up having a "real" Christmas Tree. I just love the smell, and I love knowing that each year the tree will be a little different, and special in it's own way :O) Well, finding time to go get our first real Christmas tree has been quite the challenge. Owning a "faux", pre-lit Christmas tree, pulling it out of the garage, and having it up the day after thankgiving is an idea I am warming up to! (For future years of course) Anyways, this Saturday we finally found the time! We went with our good friends Katie and Tom to "Thornton's U-Cut" out near Prairie. 
The weather was absolutely gorgeous. I could not have asked for a better day!
At first we were being very picky. We kept finding trees we liked but we'd say "Let's keep looking, we'll come back.." Well after about 10 mintues of lugging my 19 pound baby and my huge purse around... I was fine with chopping ANY tree down. Isn't his face so sweet though? 
Katie & Tom with their tree!
Logan cutting down our tree!
Katie & I with our trees. By the way, I'm faking that smile. My back hurt SOO Bad! He's a little too big for that front pack!
Finding the perfect tree was not as easy as I thought it would be. It was fun to spend time outdoors with eachother and our good friends.

Hi Ashley! Bayor is getting so big! He's adorable. It looks like it's time to graduate to a baby backpack.

There is nothing like the look, smell, and memories of picking out a real tree!! Good job...it is beautiful...and true that each year it is unique...keep up that tradition as long as possible. When you decide to do the artificial tree...get a Christmas tree Salt City Candle:) Love Baylor and the "Hat"!
