We took a ride on the back forty and found the MOST BEAUTIFUL TREE in the WORLD!(our world that is)
Then the kids and I took cover.
and....TIMBER
The first Christmas Tree to be cut off the farm
by our sweet Maine Man
2 Very Happy kiddos!
Then over the hills and through the woods we went.....
back to the farm.
To do our favorite yearly tradition.
Dad puts on the lights.
Followed by the kids decorating with lots of ornaments. Many that they have made in years past.
While jamming to Christmas music.
And a whole lot of horsing around!
Love to see a happy family in action. You are wonderful parents! Its a pleasure to know you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tradition. Yes, those memories are what the kids will recall in future years. Happy Holidays.

Nice Tree! Wow, the farm has really been doing well for you guys! So happy to see that:) We are heading to our last tour of duty and then we will finally get to our farm, can't wait:) It was a pleasure meeting you while here K:) Take Care and Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun, and how neat to find a tree on your own property.
ReplyDeleteWe tagged one at my friend's tree farm in October and it was cut and waiting for us this weekend. It is up in the living room in the stand with lights, but that's it. I'm letting the branches relax while I sort through and decide the decorations box location...Things sort of got mixed together last year. Maybe I'll do better this January!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bobbi! You always have such kind words to share!
ReplyDeleteYour so right Kelly! Happy Holidays to you and your family as well.
HC Mama, So good to hear from you girl. It has been so long! Glad to see your up and blogging again even though it is private. We have come a long ways here. Hope to be able to follow your journey when you start farming. Good luck with your last tour. How are the girls? Merry Christmas to you!
Sarah it was a lot of fun!
Karen S very cool.

ReplyDeleteVery nice! Definitely great memories!

Fantastic! But I challenge MM to cut a bigger tree next year...bigger is always better I say! Come on...I dare you!
ReplyDeleteOh, WHAT a wonderful day! I had to laugh because though our outings were very similar...YOU came home with a beauty of a tree, and WE came home with a spindly little Charlie Brown version. Not that we're complaining...that will just be another of the memories.
ReplyDeleteHappy snowstorm! Hope you are cozy!
I've never gotten a tree that way. It looks like such fun! I love that picture of the lights going up—beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading about you and your family making such a great memory. I am sure all of the great things you do with your kids will add up to hundreds and thousands of memories of little things that you will hear your children tell their children.
ReplyDeleteYea for you!
