Searching for Perfection


Last Friday afternoon we took advantage of the break in the rain, and the fact that the kids got out of school early, and went to get our Christmas tree. We have a favorite little U-cut place we like to go to. We were the only ones there that afternoon, so we had the run of the place. The road up to it isn't very fun to drive, but the trees and the prices are perfect.

You just can't beat a beautiful $20 tree, plus free apple cider and homemade chocolate chip cookies to boot!

About 2 minutes after we got there we had found a beautiful tree, but I guess it didn't seem like we had hunted enough because they were determined to look around for another 20 minutes.

I love how opinionated everyone gets!

Last year Grayson was determined that we get a particular tree, which was a not so good one. So we told him that this year he could pick. I was really hoping that he would either forget or that his taste would improve. Lucky for me, it did.

He picked a lovely tree! Now Fuller has determined that he gets to pick next year, and Rowan has sadly proclaimed that he won't get to pick until he's 9!
