Cutting down our Christmas Tree!

Today we went to the Spirit of Christmas tree farm and cut down our Christmas tree!! This has been a tradition of ours for some time! While we were in Wake Forest, in the seminary housing we didn't have much room for a Christmas tree, but we would still go to Lowe's and get as big a tree as possible! As you can imagine we were so excited to be able to go and get a HUGE tree this year!! Tommy, Chase, Mary-Caitlin and I all loaded up in the van and headed to the Christmas tree farm...one of the reasons we like this particular Christmas tree farm is because of all the fun things to do! When we first arrived we walked along the Candy cane trail...They have lots of Christmas flags and Nativity scenes, along with other Christmas decorations all along the trail, as we walked along we were able to feed the ducks...actually we just threw the food in the lake, the ducks weren't really interested today, but usually we feed the ducks!! :) Then we walked over to the beautiful waterfall and back up the hill!!


Poor Tommy needed a cane on the Candy Cane Trail~ LOL!!
Chase and Mary held and played with the bunnies!! Now time to go and hunt down the perfect tree!! It actually was a pretty quick process this year!! We found a beautiful 9 1/2 foot Cypress over in the Snowman stop section of the farm!! While the guys were shaking down the tree, putting the netting on and loading it on our van...we were able to enjoy some nice Hot Chocolate and cookies!! Now home to get it up and decorated!! :)
