O' Christmas Tree!
On Sunday we were invited to go Christmas Tree cutting with some of our good friends. Our friend D's family owns some...a lot of land in the mountains and we got to pick any tree our hearts desired. It was really cool! I had never done anything like that.Some of you know that we usually wait until December 23rd to get our tree because Christmas always sneaks up on us. So, it is very unusual for us to have a tree this soon. We are going to work really hard on keeping it alive.
When we first arrived we found a really big train blocking the private road. The men tried to push the train apart, but it didn't work. So, one of them decided to ask the train to move...and it worked!
A view from where we stopped.
We then headed out to find the perfect tree.
Found it! Oliver was very happy! Our friend J cut it down with his mad lumberjack skills.
Transporting the tree was pretty easy after the men tied it down with their valuable boy scout knots.
So, here is the funny part! The tree must have grown on the roof of our car. We thought the tree was maybe 14 feet...it is really about 18 feet. We think it was in a hole when we picked it. Luckily we have a really high ceiling and it works perfect in the living room. We all are so excited to decorate it!
