Oh, Christmas Tree!

 One of our favorite events of the holiday season is choosing our Christmas tree. We are a real tree family, so we get to traipse around the tree farm in search of the perfect tree! We had to bundle up before heading to the tree farm this year. It was cold! We tried a new type of tree this year, a Nordmann. It was fantastic and probably the healthiest tree we have had over our fifteen Christmases together. We will definitely be seeking out a Norman next December. We were so eager to get our tree this year that when we arrived at the tree farm, the sign said "Open" but there wasn't a single car in the lot and the owner was still inside his house. We went through a nearby Starbucks and when we came back, he was ready to officially start the day.
