The Steps to Choosing the Perfect Christmas Tree (according to the garolas :)

We by no means have the art of tree decorating down pat. In fact, I would say this is the first year we've actually pulled it off without a hitch! I had to post this because this day was very Leave it to Beaverish. Which is SO not usually us! I was so proud! It went something like this...


1. Select a local Christmas tree farm. We just found out about this one www.brewerschristmastreefarm.gacta.com and we will for sure go back!











2. Take a hayride around the farm and decide which type of tree would suit you best. We decided to branch out from the traditional pine and go with a Cypress tree this year!














3. Jump off the hay wagon for a bit and pet some rabbits and feed some hungry goats!












4. After the hayride grab a saw and head off to choose just the perfect tree. Be VERY picky and take a long time!



5. Once you've found THE TREE get two really strong guys to cut it down and carry it for you!














6. Shake the tree, get it bagged, and tie it to the top of your car.















7. Bring it home, add your decorations, and voila! You have the perfect Christmas tree!
See that gap of space to the ceiling? Next year, we're going BIGGER!
