Cutting The Christmas Tree

Being that we live in a  place that has numerous Christmas tree farms it is a fun adventure every year to go cut our own. Abbi decided she didn’t want to go this year so the 3 of us trudged off in search of the ‘perfect’ tree and actually we were in  the market for 2 trees as we were charged with getting gone for Grandpa Bob as well. The snow, while not completely non-existent , certainly wasn’t the waist deep drifts we have waded through in Christmas season’s past. There was a light dusting that made things festive and there was enough nip in the air to warrant hats and mittens. We completed our mission of finding two ‘perfect’ trees and carried our loot home in the truck ready for the decorating.

Caelun heads out across the field towards the trees.
