Christmas Tree Farm - Road Trip!

Every year Matt has entertained my need for a real Christmas tree so this year I decided to grant his wish of driving to the mountains to cut down our own. We both wanted Maddy (and eventually Hannah) to understand that the trees don't start out at the corner lot next door to the grocery store!

We had a really nice time. After about a 2 hour drive we were there. Nice weather and a great place in Boone, NC. We took about 20-30 minutes to find our tree. One lesson in this for me was how overwhelming that process is. After looking at 5 trees, they all start to look the same. We eventually found "the one" and proceeded with the process of trimming and then attaching it to the roof of the car. We packed a lunch and sat with cider and enjoyed a really great family moment. I'm still pretty sure that Maddy was more impressed with the goats than cutting her own Christmas tree. Oh well. I LOVE our tree. It's beautiful and looks like it was made for our living room.
