Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

We get a real tree every Christmas, and I always look forward to it, because it smells soooo good in the house! We have always wanted to go the Elgin Christmas Tree Farm, but have never been able to work that out, so this year we made a point to get there! We went a couple of weekends ago on Sunday 12/7, and it was such a fun experience! They took us out on a hayride to the trees, dropped us off with saws, and we went in search of our own tree to cut down. We found one that suited us, and took lots of pictures along the way :) We went with my sister, Courtney, her husband Nicholas, and their daughter Eisley, and after we all got our trees home, we agreed they were HUGE! They seemed so much smaller out in the field. We knew what to look for with the height as Mike could put his hand up and we could gauge it by that, but the width of the thing was more than we expected, and I think the same for Courtney and Nick too! It was fun, but we might go back to our usual spot at Home Depot next year. That's where we've always gotten ours in the past, and always find a great tree!
