On Saturday we went with Wendy and Gabe and the girls and bunch of Wendy's family to Thornton's Treeland to cut down our tree. IT was actually a dry day! The kids had a blast. Kaitlyn actually tripped over a stump and face planted in the mud. Here she is after the face plant, still smiling!
Here is the tree Matt wanted to get. He aims high don't you think?
Here is the tree we actually picked. We were a little worried because it's the biggest we've ever gotten, and we were worried we'd have to move the couches out to actually fit it in our tiny living room, but we got it anyway. And for those of you that have never been to a tree farm, I wish I could describe the smell to you. To me, it is pure heaven.
They had a petting zoo at the tree farm. The kids stayed quite a while here. Then we got some hot chocolate.
Next came the hay ride. They had this fabulous kettle corn, as you can see Kaitlyn holding. We ruined everyone's dinner by eating two bags full!
And here is the final project. It just barely fit in the living room, although the love seat is pushed all the way to the front door and it still squishes that one side of the tree, but oh well. We love it. It smells sooooo good!

Sounds like a fabulous time! One day we are going to get a real tree too. I would love to smell the pine...
Wow. Your house looks great! You guys did a good job. And I like Matt's tree. :-) I wish we had a good tree farm we could go to. I would love to have that smell in my house. Someday... Oh, and I can't believe how big Kaitlyn is! I miss my baby girl!
I'm glad you guys had a good Thanksgiving! I thought about you as I was making my first turkey, remembering the Thanksgiving we had at your apartment :) You're an awesome cook! Love the tree :)
Your tree looks beautiful. I bet it smells better than it looks. I love cutting down your own tree.
Your house is so pretty. We went to Thornton's a couple of times and really liked it. It looks SO beautiful all decorated in your house!!
Everything looks beautiful! I love Christmas decorations. And I love how Kaitlyn was still smiling after a face full of mud - what a cool girl!
I am so jealous you get to go pick your tree from a tree farm. And yes, the smell sounds heavenly!
