a hunting we will go...

for the perfect christmas tree, that is!

and we found it...sorry to everyone else that went to beck's tree farm...the farmer family got it:)

as was my tradition as a child...we go as a family, find the perfect tree, cut it down, ride the horse drawn "hayride", have some hot chocolate, and watch the tree get the needles shaken out and put through the net "thingy".

i love starting traditions with my family that my parents started when i was young. i hope my children will remember these times when they are grown and have kiddos of their own.

some highlights from our tree hunt 2010:

*annabelle got to sit in the front of the horse hayride
*all three of my kiddos are able to walk on their own (no strollers, etc...finally!)
*we picked a huge tree. we (or should i say I) did not realize how much room it would take up in our dining room.

enjoy some pictures from our tree hunting expedition . i will post house decorating and final tree decoration pictures once we are all set up!

love,
