December 1st is here and I am loving every minute of it. Christmas time is one of my most favorite times of year! We went and cut our Christmas tree this time. The last couple of years we have had a fake tree and we both had a hankering for that fresh evergreen scent in our home. So we did a little research and found out that the Grand Fir tree is the most fragrant. So, that is what we got. We went out to a U-cut Christmas tree farm that is owned by Mary's ballet teacher. She was so surprised to see her teacher out there. We took a little while to find just the right one but it was all worth it. When Rich was going to get the van to put the tree in, Mary and I took pictures of each other to pass the time. Mary is turning out to be a pretty good little photographer. When we got the tree in the van and paid for it, we stayed in the parking lot and had hot chocolate and listened to Christmas music on the radio. It was such a beautiful day. We sipped our hot chocolate and stirred it with candy canes. We set the tree up and put it in water right away. We waited to decorate it until the next day. We just enjoyed the scent and beauty of the tree that evening in all of it's natural glory!

Very nice pictures! Seeing the pictures of you getting your tree reminded me of when we use to cut our own tree when the kids were younger. Looks really pretty in your house!
Beautiful tree! The pictures are great. Mary looks so grown up!
Hope you are well! :)
That looks like such a fun day. I love the whole idea of going to cut down a tree. To bad there is not a tree farm around our area. Love the new header. The photos are so cute.
