LeRoy and I have had a real live Christmas tree since the first year we were married. This year I told my mom that all I wanted for my birthday was to cut down a Christmas tree. Since my birthday wasn't until the 17th, I was really happy she gave LeRoy money early. So, the Saturday after Thanksgiving we headed up to Greenbluff to cut down a tree. The weather was gross though not too cold. The ground was muddy, but I was so excited! With three kids in tow we tromped around the tree farm searching for the perfect tree. Why no pictures, you ask? Oh yeah, camera battery was dead. The only time that having a camera that doesn't take AA's is a bad thing. So, the picture above was the first picture I took of the tree. My sister told me that I should have waited because it would be dead by Christmas, but I told her that I didn't care because it made me happy today! I'm proud to say that thanks to a twice a day watering schedule, my tree is still going strong though it's coming down today.........So sad. Well, here are some pictures of the tree decorating festivities. Oh yeah, and I'm totally getting a real tree next year, too! Thanks, Mom!!
Last year after Christmas, I scored these pre-lit 3ft trees for 5 bucks each and so now all the kids have a tree of their own for their rooms. They thought it was so cool!

We love real Christmas trees. That's all Ryan's family had and so it would be sacreligious to have anything different at our house... (according to my DH) But that is a really cool idea for the kids to be able to decorate their own tree!
