We went out a couple days ago to cut down the perfect Christmas tree. We always go out to the Brawley's farm, Tree Kings, off Hwy. 22 and love getting our tree from them. Their son was in my very first second grade class seven years ago and I have been getting my tree from them ever since. We always manage to go when it's on the verge of getting dark. We had to be a little quick. Carter had a great time wandering around through the trees in his winter gear and looked so cute. I have realized though that cutting down our own tree is getting more difficult. The tree was WAY too heavy for this pregnant mama to help carry plus I had to make sure Carter followed us out of the field of trees. So poor Jay had to drag the tree by himself which meant one side of our tree was covered in dirt. I spent 20 minutes last night with a wet rag trying to wipe off all the dirt so our tree didn't look like it was dying already. Next year will be even more difficult with two kids to keep track of and a tree to carry. We will have to start getting creative.

I know, we look like terrible parents handing our toddler a saw. Don't worry...Jay was right there ready to grab it or him if there were any issues. Carter loved trying to cut down a tree like daddy did. In fact, he threw a fit when we took it away from him.
He also loved finding sticks and carrying them around.
Helping daddy...
Our attempt at a family picture. Maybe next year we need to invite someone to come with us to help carry kids and take a family picture.
I love getting our Christmas tree every year and it's so much more fun now that Carter is old enough to enjoy it. It's also more difficult but it's worth it!
