Oh Christmas Tree!!

Last weekend we took a trip to the country to get our Christmas tree. We actually went to a Christmas tree farm and cut it down. It was the best Christmas tree buying experience I've ever had!! It was huge! There were acres of trees!! All perfectly Christmas tree shaped. They had four types of trees. We went with a very pretty Virginia Pine. They also had hot cocoa and spiced cider while you walked around. They provided you with a measuring stick and a saw. They shook and wrapped the tree for you. They would even dig it up and wrap the roots if you wanted to plant it after Christmas. I'm a little sad we didn't do this option... Savannah could have seen her first Christmas tree forever!! We might do it next year. Regardless, she very much enjoyed her first Christmas tree buying experience.

Just a warning... these are some of my favorite Savannah pics I've gotten... I had a really hard time narrowing it down to the hundred I've posted here. She had such a good time posing for the camera!!

There were so many trees... you can't really tell how far back the trees went.

All that Christmas tree cutting wore her out!!

This was her seat while she watched us decorate the tree. She helped hang a few ornaments but she'd much rather try to eat them than hang them on the tree. So we thought it best to just let her watch from a safe distance.

The finished project! Except somehow the pic got flipped. The windows and the sideways pictures of Savannah are actually on the opposite walls. Weird.
Here Savannah is helping me post pictures on the blog. This picture is correctly oriented.
