Every good tree farm has a hay ride. They took us around to see all of the trees and down a nature trail equipped with "rare bats" (baseball bats hanging in the trees) and "lost souls" (shoes hanging from the trees). Every strawberry patch, pumpkin patch, or tree farm that I've been to has had at least one of those jokes. It was pretty funny trying to explain the "lost soles" to Isaac. He just didn't get it. Maybe it will be funnier the next time?
They had a haystack that the boys had a lot of fun jumping and sliding on.
Eric and Ashlyn weren't quite as successful as the boys were!
We finally found the perfect tree! It's a fairly new farm, so they didn't have many trees to choose from for cutting, so we had to resort to a pre-cut one. It's a winner! They also had hot cider, hot chocolate, and popcorn for us to enjoy. Perfect ending!
(Note: Family picture and Ashlyn doesn't have her fingers in her mouth!)
The boys were very patient while we got the tree inside and strung with lights and cranberries. Unfortunately, Ashlyn didn't last and missed out on all of the ornament hanging festivities.
Tah-Dah!
Another great tree for another great Christmas!

I was taking back when I saw the tree all lit up. I honestly thought that was out of a magazine or something that you just put on your blog. I didn't recognize the little boy and your tree looks perfect, absolutely perfect lighting and decorating and everything. I love it. You did a FABULOUS job.
Oh yeah, before I saw that picture and got side tracked I had another thought. You are so brave and good to have a real tree and what a great tradition and family outing. We had a real tree our first year we were married and for some reason I didn't know you had to water it so...it died and got really prickly. It was a painful experience getting presents from under the tree. From then on, we just have a fake one.
Your tree is so pretty! I love the decorations and cranberries! Very cute! Your trip to the tree farm looked so fun! I'm so glad your kiddos are feeling better, it's no fun to have sick kids! Have a good Sunday!
Wow! I love your tree! That picture where the tree lights are on and Carter is hanging something is awesome! It looks like one out of a story or something! Sorry Ashlyn got sick today, it would have been fun to see you at conference. I didn't even get a chance to say hi to Eric though, either. Anyway, hopefully everyone feels better soon!
I love your Christmas tree. You have an exquisite taste in decorating your house, especially for this season.
Great job.
Love the Superman PJs. Have been trying to find Tillman some, but all the stores are sold out of 2T... :(
