On the Hunt

On Saturday we decided we were going to make the journey to pick out our Christmas tree. On our way down to Cannon Falls we go. We decided to start a tradition this year by cutting down our own tree. So, we had lunch in town and headed out to the tree farm. After we turned in there ended up being 10 cars behind us in line. They hand us a saw and tell us where we need to go. There was 100 acres of Christmas trees. It was crazy! So, we found an area we thought we would find it and made the journey to pick the perfect tree. We walked up and down the aisles of trees. We would stop and think this ones pretty good but is there a better one? Then we thought oh that first one wasn't too bad.... but wait where was it? All the trees look the same. So many to choose from; so many with flaws. Then we found the one. Just like how the Griswald's found theirs. Not really. It's small but just right. Eric cut it down and off we went. 

All the people hunting for "the perfect one"

You talkin' to me?  Are you talkin' to me?

"The One" (for this year)

A little cold there Eric?

Tim-ber!
