Our Trees Story

We wanted to start some family traditions. We thought hiking into the forest to cut down our own Christmas tree would be a fun one. Then we remembered we live in Kansas and went to the tree farm instead. Don't feel sad. It was fun!
You get to ride this little horse carriage out to the trees.
My kids thought this was the coolest part. Look at Madduxs cute reindeer shirt. I got it for $3 on black friday.
And this one too.
And Bodey a snowman shirt for $1. Anyways back to the tree. Sorry.
We did alot of searching. We found a Bodey sized one.
A Maddux sized one.
And a Jadyn sized one.
After much debate we decided on this Australian Pine. I named him Sprucey. And the men in red jumped up to chop it down. Pat was pretty disapointed to find out he didn't get to do it.
Then Sprucey went away on the tractor and we got to ride the horse back.
Next Sprucey was mounted to the car and ready to go home.
Jadyn unbagged him.
The Australian pine was a bad pick. Extremely pokey and hard to decorate. Plus you don't get the real Christmas tree smell. But I like the way he looked he reminded me of Kansas.
It was a good time. We will miss being in Utah for Christmas and everyone there. And are excited to have Pats family here.
