On the Sunday after Thanksgiving we all loaded up in my SUV and headed out to a Christmas Tree Farm in Snohomish to find the perfect tree. I have always wanted to do this- we just never have.
It was a blast! The boys ran and ran, getting muddy and hiding from each other amongst the rows of trees as Matt and I took our task of finding the perfect tree very seriously.
We were excited because our rental house has a pitched ceiling and a huge front window in the family room. Perfect place for a really BIG tree! Also, this farm only charges $25 for ANY tree- no matter how big. Not to mention it was run by the sweetest couple ever.
What we didn't consider is that a much larger tree would require more trimmings than we keep on hand. So I gathered up some craft supplies(and bought a little to augment with) and we got to work making ornaments to fill our tree. I think it worked out ok in the end. When I post Christmas morning pics you'll see how it turned out.
It really is huge by the way. But Beautiful for sure! And I think we will stick with the tree farm as a tradition. Definitely an experience worth repeating. 
Yea for new posts! I still check :)
