Oh Christmas Tree...

My mom loves the smell of a fresh tree. So every year it's a big ordeal to pick out just the right tree. My dad likes Noble Fir...kind of expensive for a tall one. Mom likes her trees to be really full so we usually end up with a Douglas Fir. They take lots of time unwrapping and shaking out trees, looking to make sure the trunks are straight, etc. They often go to 2 or 3 places just to find a nice one. This year Keaton had an opinion too. Of course he wanted a little one, just the same as him :) The process can be a little long, but it's all worth while when you come home with a lovely Christmas Tree.


First we tried our luck at a nursery.

Then we tried a tree lot.

Finally made it home with a nice tree

Finished product...scarce on ornaments for some reason this year.
