We had so much fun last weekend going to get our Christmas tree! Last year we borrowed an artificial tree, because we didn't have time or energy to get a real one with Gracie's accident, and being pregnant. The couple years before that, Grandma and Grandpa W. were kind enough to let us chop one down in their woods. This was a lot of fun, and cost nothing!
This year we went to a place in H called Honey Hollow. Luke and Cara have gone there for a few years, and get beautiful trees that smell like oranges! So we thought this year we'd tag along with them, and when my Mom heard we were going she, Dad, and Jake decided to come along to help with the kids, and take pictures.
Cullen and Daddy!

Look at all those kids! Grace, Logan, Weston, Sawyer, and Campbell

Posing with Grandma - notice there's no snow 

The kids decided they would pull the trees for us - it didn't last long,
since they couldn't even move them. We got some REALLY big trees!

Isn't he adorable?!
Enjoying their hot chocolate and candy canes

It was a beautiful day, not too cold. This also meant no snow, which I originally thought would be really helpful - no wet, cold, whiny mommy kids! Have you ever dragged a Christmas tree on the ground when there's no snow? Do you know what happens?! That's right, you have a beautiful, mud covered tree! It was left outside to dry and be shaken well before coming inside! We got a beautiful tree, about 8 1/2' tall, and very full.
