The Hunt For the Perfect Tree

Saturday we decided to get a live Christmas tree for the first time in our 13 years of marriage.  The kids were excited for the big adventure!

The kids looked high & low, & soon found the perfect tree!

There it is!

Right beside our driveway!

We agreed that it was a nice tree, but perhaps a bit large for the house…  We decided to try it anyway!

The kids played a game of hide & seek…

It made it into the house (though we forgot to give it a good shake first)!

We decorated it & are ready to fill the space with gifts!

It’s a actually pretty nice for a driveway tree, unfortunately we only have one other pine tree on our yard, so it won’t be so easy every year!
