When we celebrate Thanksgiving at my family's house, we always go over to the Christmas tree farm the next morning to get my parents' tree! Since we have an artificial tree at our house (Jay's decision!) I am always appeased by going to cut down a big tree for my parents' house!!! It is my FAVORITE thing to do and it also helps my mom and dad out to have us get all their decorations out and get everything done together...it's the BEST!
So, we got out that morning and headed out to cut down our own tree. Virginia was ready...and I was a little scared to see my little one with such a big saw. But, she was under the best care of her daddy and Pal (what the girls call my dad...so cute!). It was a beautiful day and once we got to work we even took off our coats. Perfect!
There is a hayride to the tree farm...but we were too excited to get out there, so after waiting a few minutes for it start up we just decided to get some exercise and walk to find our tree! Sassy and the girls! Poor Virginia can't do sunshine with those pretty blue eyes.
We head out to get ourselves a pretty tree! Sassy, my sister Holly and the girls picked a perfect one!
Of course, there is a BEAUTIFUL cotton field! It's like a winter wonderland...such pretty girls!
We found our tree and Daddy makes the first cut to get it ready for the girls to have a turn. Anli and Pal hold it steady.
Virginia makes the very last cut...then hurries around to catch the tree...
TIMBER!!!
The girls were a huge help and they carried it all the way back!
Time to tie it to the old minivan!
On the way back to the house we saw these cuties...just to show you we are out in the farmlands! Cutting down a Christmas tree is just so much fun to me! We had a wonderful time and then headed back to set it up, decorate it, and cozy up by the fire to wind up the weekend. More to come tomorrow...
