Don't you just love our tree? JB and the boys worked hard cutting it down, loading it, and getting it home. It's the tree of all tree's.Seriously, this past Saturday, we dragged our artificial tree down from the the attic. We had forgotten last year just how small it looked in our vaulted ceiling den. We even had to put it on a table to elevate it to give it a little more height.
After looking at our "twig" of a tree, JB announced that we would venture out to look for a live tree. We went to a local tree farm, actually the same farm as the pumpkin patch in hopes of finding that perfect tree for our family. Our mission was accomplished with JB and the boys sawing down the tree we picked out. It is a Leland Cypress that stands about 6 to 7 feet tall.
So far, all we have put on it is lights, but that is what's the most impressive to the boys. They get up wanting to turn the "ights" on and don't dare turn them off before they go to bed.
I'll have to post the fully decorated tree later. But for now, at least we have a tree.
