I always grew up with a real Christmas tree. Unfortunately but wisely we made the decision the first year Kiersten was born to go to a fake tree, It just was simpler with a small child. However this year I really longed for a real tree again. I wanted the smell of it in the house and I wanted the adventure for Kiersten to be able to get a real one! We planned on trucking out in the actual woods and getting one however timing wasn’t good this year. We were in HSB for thanksgiving, I worked the following weekend and then we realized Den and Kate were coming up this weekend to celebrate Christmas. That left us a only a couple choices, put up the fake tree again, or… have Den and Kate go with us to get a tree at a local tree farm. We didn’t want to waist the WHOLE day getting a tree when we didn’t have much time with Den and Kate to begin with. So we opted to go to Carvers farms and cut down our tree. It was a good family fun adventure that Kiersten loved. We got there and got to have a hay ride down to the tree farm area and then Kiersten got to pick the tree (with Grandpa Den and Dad doing a little convincing). I thought most of the trees looked the same, all perfect, just a little different sizes, however Kiersten didn’t think so. So she got to pick her tree and go for a hay ride and she LOVED it.
