For the first time in my adult life, I decided to have a real tree for Christmas. It was quite the adventure today, and I cannot say that I was prepared for the mess that real trees make, but in the end it smells wonderful and looks beautiful. Here are a few pictures from our day:
The "tree farm," also known as a trailer parked in front of Costco, but Mommy didn't think that you could beat $27.99 for an 8 foot Fraiser Fur at a tree farm.
The boys were very excited. They thought that it was SO silly to put a live tree in your house.
It fits! Yay!
Sawing off the end turned out to be harder than Lee anticipated.
The tree turned out to be HUGE! Much bigger than our artificial tree. This made Mommy even more excited about the $27.99 price!
The boys had a blast decorating the tree. Every year the boys get to buy one special ornament each and I try to buy an ornament every time that we go on vacation. This makes the decorating process fun and full of memories. Gray bought an Iron Man ornament this year and Caleb bought Thor. The tree turned out really pretty.
