Yesterday, we went to a tree farm by our house and cut down our first real Christmas tree. It was a lot of fun and the boys loved running around looking for the perfect tree. The little tree farm provided saws and a wagon ride out to the area but then you were pretty much on your own to hack it down and haul it back to the wagon for a ride back. They did have amazing free cider at the end. They also shook out the tree and wrapped it for you and carried it to your car if you wanted. We decided after dealing with it inside the house this is probably going to be the only year we do this. They are messy and they poke you every time you put an ornament on and you have to water it everyday, and we are way to much of perfectionists to not constantly notice how this tree kind of leans to one side even though it is standing up right. The boys liked it and we all had fun so it was worth trying. Now if we can just keep it from dying before Christmas.
