Outing to Christmas Tree Farm






The natural thing to do after Thanksgiving is to get a Christmas tree to adopt.  We headed out to our favorite tree farm in Carnation to find our perfect tree to decorate for the occasion.  It's one of our favorite things to do before the Holiday.  There is something organic and wholesome about going out to the country and cut down your own Christmas tree.  We brought home a Grand Fir which was a little cheaper than what we usually buy, a Nordman or Korean fir.  Although finding out later that this kind shed a lot of needles and needs daily sweeping, we got the best looking tree in town!  The kids got busy decorating them, but got distracted and started to play with the ornaments.  I finished decorating it after they went to sleep and they were pleased to see it prettily lit up in the morning.  We only have several weeks left until Christmas and I am left with a mountain of tasks to do.  I am glad one of the items is crossed off the list!
