Christmas Tree Excursion!

Last weekend we spent the weekend at "The Land".  Many of our weekends are spent out in the middle of nowhere land.  My parents purchased a large amount of acres and currently a weekend/getaway cabin is in process of being built.  It has been a long process but is finally taking true shape.  In the mean time we stay in campers during our weekend visits, but don't be fooled they are more like mobile homes!  Anywho's, we were out running errands with my parents, Quinn, and Mary Grace and decided we should hit up the local Christmas tree farm to find and cut down our own tree.  Beyond all the mud and the fact that there were a million and one tree's.  Most of the trees were grown too close to each other so most were ruined because the were growing literally on top of each other so were not full and often times one whole side was missing needles and growth. 


My parents found their tree and with the help of Brian to start with then Mary Grace for the big finish they chose their tree.  Don't mind the picture quality as it was an unplanned trip so I was just left with my cell phone on a terrible overcast day! 


TIMBER!!!!!!!!!!!


All by herself Mary Grace pulled the tree on the sled all the way out!


Of course that was after a few stumbles and falls! 


She kept getting back up and going!

Brian and I ended up deciding to purchase a live bulb Christmas tree that we hope will live in our house for Christmas festivities then will be able to be planted at my parents land.   We think it's a 50/50 thing if it'll live, but for the price it was comparable to the other tree's that were cut and have no chance of living!


We ended the night by going to the Christmas parade the city has every year.  This was our first year in attendance.  This was the view on the hood of the car of the "reindeer's" waiting for the parade to start up.  I just love my husband, people walked by laughing and he took every compliment and wore those reindeer's antlers (of course with bells on them!) with pride!
