The boys had the day off from school so we grabbed lunch at little big burger [my friends know I have a special love for their fries and spicy ketchup] and headed to the tree farm. We picked out a pretty noble fir tree although the boys were more interested in playing with the dogs who live at the farm and eating freshly made apple cider donuts.
Once we found the perfect spot for the tree we strung some lights on it and ooh'd and ahh'd over the beauty of our Christmas tree. I would love to keep it ornament free since I love the look of a natural tree with lights but I already promised the boys we would make ornaments for the tree. Maybe next year we'll get two trees, one for me and one of the boys.
