Are you ready to get back on schedule?
I’m not…ha ha!
I have been really enjoying this little break and having my husband home.
I told you here that we were going to put our tree up on Saturday. We started putting it together when my husband decided that he wanted a real tree. We never had a real tree before and we all got excited, took down the tree and left right away and drove to a local farm to find our perfect tree! :)
The kids were soooo excited!
They seriously had a blast!!!
Finding a tree was way harder than I imagined but we I finally found it.
They all loved the wagon!
Here is our tree!!!! 
Here is Scott pulling our tree in with Grace chasing behind.
Getting ready for the tracker ride!
She was sooo happy!
They loved the wagon ride.
The farm was beautiful!
After that, we walked around the cute shop.
Cute place, huh?
We ate homemade doughnuts, spiced apple cider and hot chocolate…..Yummmmy!
Now the kids are really excited for Christmas!
We have to finish the tree first.
We started the lights today but our old lights only made in up half the tree. (Our new one is 8 1/2 feet.) So I had to go out and find new ones today and every store seemed to be out of the ones that I wanted…URGH! I finally found some at ACE. Anyway, be the time we finished that ordeal we had to eat dinner, finish the lights and bed, so I will add the ornaments tomorrow after school.
I will show you after that. Grace is unbelievably excited to help me this year which makes to even more fun for me!
How was your weekend?
Do you get real trees?
Have a great weekend!

Hi, I enjoy reading your blog every day! I love your cleaning tips and simple, practical ideas. I've been wanting to try Shaklee for a long time. With the free membership, now might be the right time, but how do I begin? If you could let me know, I'd appreciate it! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog too! :) That's great that you got a real tree - I have a small fake one in my room but I still love it. Can't wait to see yours when it's decorated! Your kids are the cutest!

Bonnie - I'm not sure how to contact you but I have been thinking alot about using your products, expecially after I had to clean my oven this week and the smell that the cleaner put off. Please contact me so I can take advantage of your offer you have going right now.

Thank you Michelle R.
Bonnie, I can feel the cold air looking at those pictures! We started cutting down our Christmas tree last year. It is so much fun! Our farm doesn't have a shop at its' location, so we drive to McDonalds and get hot chocolates before our drive home from the country. We will be going soon, hopefully on a day where it is not frigid :)
ReplyDeleteI've never had a real tree but they're so pretty & smell soooo good!
ReplyDeleteWhen our kids were little we went to a tree farm every year and cut down a tree. They all loved it too!!!! Drank hot cider and had hot dogs. This bring back many good memories. Now we have a 10 ft. prelit tree. It is wonderful not to have the mess of a live tree. BTW, where do you live? I am in Pa. I just posted a PEEK at my tree, got it up today but will post it all tomorrow. Pleas4e stop by my blog. XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tree farm! It looks like you made some sweet memories there. We always get real trees, although not from such a cute place, lol! Thanks for sharing the pictures. :)
