How to quickly find a tree

Just pick the coldest, windiest day of the season so far to go and cut down a Christmas tree and it's amazing how quickly the tree can be picked out and cut down! We have gone the day after Thanksgiving for a few years now to go pick out our Christmas tree. This year, our friends, the Seiler's, were in town for Thanksgiving and joined us for the event.

We've learned to measure before you leave the tree lot...

Mike decided that everyone needs to have cut a tree down at least once...thanks Mr. Tom for getting that job done!And I just LOVE this picture of my handsome husband...

Clayton and Sammie followed directions perfectly and "helped" by standing far away...

Did I mention is was COLD?! I gladly volunteered to take the "babies" back to the car to relieve their misery...

So after a quick trip to the tree lot, we enjoyed a yummy meal at McD's and enjoyed the rest of the day INSIDE.
