The weekend after Thanksgiving we headed out to our favorite Christmas tree farm to begin the holiday season, a tradition we always look forward to! Instead of grabbing a wagon and walking to the nearby field, we hopped on the hay wagon and rode out to a new area we had never been to to before. It definitely added to the excitement to try something new and both boys loved the ride!
Brett was in charge of the saw and took this job very seriously :-)
I assumed the wagon ride would just be a quick trip up the hill, but nope, their property goes back further than I thought! We were on there for probably 10 minutes and it was so peaceful to just sit back and enjoy the beautiful scenery!
Notice the little bus ornament in Camden's hand? We had gotten our decorations out the day before and each boy has their own box of ornaments that we add to each year. Well, that was one of Brett's favorites from when he was little, but someone else insisted on playing with it! At first, Brett didn't want to share, but eventually he reluctantly gave in when he saw how much JOY it brought to his brother. I had been in the ER with Camden the night before for breathing issues due to Croup, so he got anything he wanted the next day!
Although Camden was feeling much better, he was pretty tired from being up half the night so he definitely wasn't his spunky self. Poor little guy.
Seriously cannot believe that this handsome boy is going to be 8 soon!!!
Kyle and Camden selfie!
Our view.
Before we started our search for the perfect tree, I grabbed these shots of the boys by the tractor.....and I love them!
Then we were off....
There are always so many beautiful trees to choose from and every time we think we found the tree, we find another one that we love even more! This cycle continues for quite some time....until we all start to crave warmth and cookies that is! Ha!
Even in the winter, nature does not disappoint.
Examining "the one".....
And chopping it down!
Brett helped Kyle by supporting the tree while he cut it down. Go Brett!
After our tree hunt was complete, it was time for hot chocolate and cookies in the little country store! Yum!
Later that evening, we put Christmas music on and decorated our tree! Love this time of year so much!!
