Christmas tree farm

We decided to go get our Christmas tree today. This is one of my favorite family activities. I have been doing this for as long as I can remember and now I am carrying it on to my own family. We found a christmas tree farm up here but it takes us about 45 minutes to get there. It is called the Lost 40 Tree Farm. You get there and they give you a hand saw to cut it down and then you go out to find the perfect one. Of course this year I saw it and just knew it was the one. Ashlyn really liked it this year. She ran around touching all the trees just laughing. The weather was wonderful today and that is another reason why we picked today to go and get it. Once you cut down your tree you drag it up to the main station and they put it on a shaker to get all the dead stuff out and then they put it through a net to keep it small and easier to bring into the house. They also have hot chocolate and hand made wreaths you can buy. Now its time to head home, put it up and decorate it! We will see how Ashlyn does with it this year.
