The Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend, we went off in search of the perfect Christmas tree! I have been wanting to do this for a long time, but have been waiting to get a real tree until I thought Ike wouldn't attack it :) We found this monstrosity at Jalapa Pines, which is only about 10 minutes from our house. Josh chopped it down and we stuck it in our van (it was raining...great weather for tree hunting!). Once we got home, he had to cut off quite a bit of it to fit it in the house, but it ended up being the perfect size!
Josh and Dave before the cutting.
I had lots of help decorating! The boys' friend Kyson even joined in on the fun :)
Love their crazy expressions all the time.
So that's our tree! Still smells awesome and hasn't lost any needles (except for those the kids have pulled off of course). Excited to continue this tradition in the years to come!
