We all bundled up and packed into our truck. We call it our "clown car" when all seven of us get in.
The farm was quite crowded, but there were so many wonderful trees, plenty for all. You really can't go wrong. You pick your size and shape and you're good to go.
It had started to snow a bit by the time we got there. A perfect setting for hunting up the perfect Christmas tree.
Bess is wondering about this one.
Gabe thinks this little one would be good. We would never fit all our ornaments on that one, Gabe!
After walking around for awhile, we finally found one we all could agree on. We tend to go for the ones that are a bit chubbier.
A meeting of the minds on the best way to cut down the tree. Gabe and Dan both had a turn at the saw and Hannah offered advice.
That tree was a bit heavy. We should have found one closer to the truck.
Into the netting cone it goes.
We set it up and will let it rest overnight. After being in the netting, the branches need to relax a bit. Tomorrow we will decorate it.

Too fun!! I have wanted to do this with our kids, but time seems to be running out, and we just can't seem to find the time!
This looks wonderful! We used to this same thing when I was young, it was magical to pick a tree, cut it down, and take it home. Thanks for sharing!!
Debbie, looks like a lovely time, a bit chilly (motivator to go more quickly), and a day of wonderful memories. :)
Yay!
Lovely pics and memories for your family.
We'll go to pick one this week, from a garden centre, no tree farms near here!
I look forward to your tree farm posts. I wish we had one around here!
This always looks so fun! I can't wait to see your finished tree post. LOL
Wow, that looks like fun! I love a real tree and getting to go pick one out!

I like all the happy faces in your "clown car". Enjoy the holidays and Merry Christmas.
You and Brian do such fun things with the kids. This looks like a wonderful time.
Loved the pictures of Brian reading and you and the ladies with their pretty wreathes.
Always love your Daybook entries and the pics of the sweet kids.
Happy belated birthday to Brian.
Wishing you all a blessed, joyful Christmas and a peaceful, happy New Year.
May it be a year of new house plants for you :)
