Christmas Trees

This year we decided to get a live Christmas tree. (probably because our fake tree wouldn't fit in the moving truck so it is still in Texas). Since this was going to be Paul's first real experience in Ohio, we decided to go to a Christmas Tree Farm (the place where you walk through fields of trees, select one and cut it down yourself). We went the weekend after Thanksgiving. Paul help up really well, glad he had long johns! Why don't trees ever look as big in the field as they do in the house? Don't you just love the last picture of Paul? He has this look on his face, "what the **** am I doing out here in the cold chopping down a tree for?" He assured me he had a great time. A word of advice for any of you cutting down your own tree, make sure the tree you select only has one trunk. Ours came with two and it was great fun getting it to fit into the tree stand.
