Forest had some time off recently and the weather was fairly nice, so we decided to go out and find our tree. We still have yet to set it up, but here is some photo blogging of our trip out to the fields.
The kids are ready to go! Come on mom!
We headed out to the fields. My daughter found some old binoculars and of course had to use them in her attempt to find the perfect Christmas tree. Surprisingly the kids shared those binoculars really well.:)
Here’s Forest getting up close and personal with the colorado spruce field. We decided that this would be the best tree for us. They are so pokey that the kids think twice before pulling on the tree or trying to climb it. I love all different kids of trees and I change what I want every year. Sometimes big and full, something skinny with more space. We went for skinny and more space this year as I liked the idea of all the room for viewing ornaments.
And here’s our tree!
It’s probably about 12′ tall. Our ceiling is 10′ so we have a lot of space to fill, but I guess I had Forest cut a little more then we really needed. I guess it’s better to have to much then to little right?
I’m so excited about getting our tree into the house. We just have to get the space prepared in the living room and we’ll be ready for set up and decorations. The kids are excited and we just love having that fresh smell in the house. Hurray For Real Trees!
