We had a really busy November and we searched the calendar with no success for a day to go pick out a live Christmas tree. In early December we were headed to Virginia and found a lovely tree farm near our destination. I called ahead because some many places I had heard were running out of trees for choose and cut. The farmer assured me that his farm was open and had Virginia pine and Norway Spruce Christmas trees to choose and cut.
We arrived at the farm and went around to the barn near the trees. The farmer walked up and said "Would you like to walk out to the trees or would you all like to ride the tractor?" The kids (and the parents too) were surprised and thrilled. We hopped up on the flatbed trailer behind the tractor and out to pick a tree we went!
When we got to the trees, we decided we would pick a Virginia pine for our tree. The kids name our tree every year and they decided that this year they wanted to name our tree "Virginia" since the tree came from Virginia this year. We walked and looked and debated which would be the best
We finally picked our favorite tree and Rachel and Rebekah even helped Brent cut it down this year!
The girls and Brent carried the tree back to the tractor. We loaded onto our car and then had some yummy apple cider at the barn before we headed out with our tree. Next up is decorating and enjoying our tree!
