The perfect tree

Growing up, we always went to Apple Hill and cut down our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. Since being married, we haven't had any great places to cut them down (or we were too cheap/poor in our early marriage days), so Lowes kind of became our tradition (although a tradition I was definitely ok breaking). In September we went to a fall festival at a cute farm near us and I noticed that they had a Christmas tree farm. I made a mental note and we planned to go get our tree there on Thanksgiving weekend. I was SO glad that we did. The farm was cute and had a great selection...so many trees! And I felt like the prices were even pretty affordable. The weather was a bit warmer than I expected, but again, not something I should complain about :)
 We picked up a saw and tree cart and then headed out to find the perfect tree!
 The boys LOVED running through the rows of trees and playing hide and seek. Boden got a little too into it towards the end as we were trying to leave.
Rowan found some branches that had been cut and thought it was so fun to "camoflauge" into the trees! He did a pretty good job with it :)
 And Dylan, like he normally is, was a great little companion.
 Our first Christmas tree that we have gotten to cut down together as a family!
 TIMBER!!
 My strong boys!
I LOVE the tree that we picked out, it is seriously gorgeous. The color is great, the needles don't drop fast, we had to cut a few inches to fit in the house, it is straight with a straight strong top of the star and I have a great memory to go with it. I can't wait to find another perfect tree here next year.
