So we found a local tree farm and went out this afternoon and got our tree. Kaitlyn was tired and didn't feel well so she stayed behind. We were sad she could not go but we only had a small window of time that they are open so we needed to go or we wouldn't get one. We meet the Dunham's there and hiked out into the tree farm. To "hunt down" our tree.
Man, did it remind me of my childhood hiking out among all the trees following my mom around for hours and then ending up coming back to the first one she liked right at the beginning.
The snow was really coming down and the wind was picking up so we didn't take to long to get our tree. They are not groomed and are left to their natural state. It is a white spruce. We just love it. I call it our Charlie Brown tree.
We put it in our dining room in the front window so people driving by can see it from the road. Tomorrow we will go into town and get lights for the tree and house and do our decorating. We are still trying to re-coop from the big party.
The two boys in the pictures are the Dunham's boys Cody (the bigger one) and Jamie (the little one). I will post pictures tomorrow of the tree decorated!

That bit about wandering around as a kid for hours and hours (or was it days and days?) before coming back to the first tree you saw sounds very familiar... :-)
