Picking the perfect tree.

Yep, I'm talking about a Christmas tree =) We had the best time picking out our tree this time! We skipped out on the tree for Brock's first Christmas, so this year (2010) we decided to decorate and have a tree and really get the boys into the Christmas spirit! So, we headed out to Allan's Tree Farm in Oregon City and made a wonderful memory. Caden was really into the sawing of the tree. He wanted to be the one to saw it down. Nigel let him "cut" down the very last little tiny bit of tree and he was thrilled!



My 3 very handsome guys =)

A very happy Brock =)

Starting the cutting!

Nigel got the tree down and then I said, "Wait! I want a picture too!" So, I am holding up the tree so I could have a picture with the boys and that way everyone knows I was there too! I'm usually behind the camera!


We carried the tree up to the front of the farm and the wonderful lady put it on a shaker. It shook that tree like crazy to get off all of the loose needles and anything that shouldn't be on there! That's the best invention ever!

The boys loved watching the tree getting a shake down =)

And, now, time to bundle it up! I love this machine!

Then we came home and I did this......

What color did you expect my Christmas decorations to be? ;)
