O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!

We had the pleasure of going with our girlies to pick out their Christmas tree. What a yucky, cold, dreary day it was.

We went to a new farm this year.

The girls had to check out every.single.tree.



Even the trees that were not for sale...



They finally found the perfect tree...



Oh wait!  THIS is the perfect tree!



All that's left after choppin' it down and loading it up!



On the way out, we had to stop to see the "donkey with the cross."  


The lady at the tree farm told us there is a legend that the donkey was marked with a cross after carrying Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.



We headed home and Amber got her tree up.
And there's Maci....always on the move...



Yep, it takes teamwork to get a tree decorated!



and it's oh, so worth it!  Ta-da!

Oh boy! Luke is gonna LOVE trying to tear that thing down! It's way prettier and more enticing than ours! :-)
