So off we went cart and saw in tow...searching...
And there she was...someone had already shook off the snow and passed her by. Our daughter wanted that one. It was 10' tall. My husband, Jack in the foreground is 6'. Our ceiling is only 8' so we have a lot of pine boughs to decorate with.
30 degrees and my daughter is in 2 sweaters and a cami. What the heck was she thinking? Brrrr...She got her tree though.
Here she is at home. We had to cut off the foot high top branch and a foot off of the bottom and she just fits. Guess I'll be making one of those huge bows for the top, this year. Have to find the perfect ribbon now. What? Another reason to shop? Me? Nooo...;D
So off you go to cut your own perfect Christmas tree. Over the hills and along the snow strewn paths, hunting for one tall enough, with full enough branches, one that can hold up to your ornaments and has the perfect shape. Glad I am not a Christmas tree being sized up and passed up. Sheesh the pressure. lol

It's such a joy to see people shop for a Christmas tree. For we didn't have this at our place.

wow!! interesting to see how you guys shop for a "real" christmas tree :)) learning something new everyday. i was over at maggie's and she was contemplating a "real" or "fake" one :)) HAH!! wait until she sees this!!
ReplyDeleteOnly once, a long time ago, did I go out to cut a Christmas tree. It was so festive and fun. Your tree looks great -- and will be just beautiful once fully adorned! Blessings, :) Tammy
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, and oh, that is indeed a perfect Christmas tree! Enjoy it and the scent it brings to your home ;) I love the smell of fresh pine!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tree! I wish there were a tree farm close enough for us to do that....
ReplyDeletePlease post pics when you're done decorating, especially the bow- I'm a ribbon-loving gal!
Thank you so much for posting those photos! You brought back floods of memories for me! I could feel the air and smell the trees. My cheeks even got rosy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful landscape and such a beautiful tree!
ReplyDeleteI´m really looking forward to see it decorated. ;)

Thank you everyone. We had such a fun time picking the right tree and then we came home and I made hot chocolate for everyone.
ReplyDeleteThese are special moments that I will always cherish.
What a grand and beautiful tree she is! Blessings!

Awww, I AM jealous! Yes, I was contemplating real or *faux* this year *waves to Luthien*, and we went ahead and decided *faux*! Got our first artificial tree the other day (I will be posting about it when the decoration is finished!)
ReplyDeleteBut seeing your gorgeous real tree made me realize what a tradition it is to go about choosing your tree! And the lovely smell...well I won't go there! Your daughter really picked a perfect one!
Gorgeous tree! It looks like you guys had a fun day picking it out!! I bet your house smells wonderful.
