Tree Hunting

The weekend after Thanksgiving we have a tradition to go get our Christmas tree at good ol' Bacon's Tree Farm. We took TJ's clunker dunk (haha) truck, which he was very proud of. We decided to bundle Sophia up in her snow gear and boots to stay warm and so she wouldn't get all muddy.
Sophia thought this was a good size tree...
I am so picky (just like my mom) about my tree. It has to be a Noble and it seems like we're always the last ones to cut one down. After about an hour search, we found it! It was about 10 ft tall, green, healthy, and smelled so good. Sophia was a trooper, but hungry and needed a nap by then...check out her face!

TJ doing the man thing. I even helped carry it out (probably not the best idea, ha!).

One happy family with a great tree in the back of the truck! I love this picture because TJ looks like a true hill-billy, hahaha!
Sophia was SOO excited to put up her little tree! She picked out pink glittery stocking ornaments and we already had the blue balls. Isn't it a beauty?
TA DA!!!!! (Don't look too closely at the top, we hadn't trimmed it yet).
It makes me so happy when I look at our tree. We've had many nights reading books, playing with the train, and visiting at night sitting by our tree:)

Being picky about Christmas trees is a Stocks woman thing. We learned from GG. ; ) Your tree is beautiful! Maybe next year Craig & I will have to come & get a real tree for our new house. No fake one for the new place!

It really is the best to go cut down your own tree, and of course you have to be picky...thats how you get such a great looking tree!
