Oh Christmas Tree...

This year we added a second tree to the Christmas festivus in our household. A real, live tree. Steve and I used to trek through the fields, saw in hand, searching for the perfect tree before we had kids, but it just sort of became too much to do with two little ones. Until this year. We went back to my favorite tree farm. The trees aren't super pretty and the service isn't anything to write home about. They hand you a rusty saw and tell you to have fun. But it's the same tree farm that I used to visit every year when I was a little girl. And you can pick any tree for $20. Sweet, huh?

We had the best time. We walked the entire place, searching for the perfect tree (approximately 7 ft. tall, not too fat, short needles). And we found it. I think it will be one of my favorite memories from this year's Christmas festivus.
