We got our Christmas Tree! I look forward to getting our tree so much every year. Last year we ended up paying a whopping $50! I refused to do that again, so Doug and I needed to look around at prices. Luckily we do live in Washington, and there are about 10 different Tree farms within five miles of our house.



We loaded up Mia and went off to find a tree! We drove by a bunch of farms and decided on Red Barn Tree Farm about 10 minutes from home. We were just going to look at prices and go to the next farm, but when we saw this place it was so cute we had to stop. The prices were great to cut down your own and not only that but they had a small train that went around the farm. So we went and found our tree! I have a problem of trying to find the tallest tree possible. Usually I could get away with it because we had Cathedral cealings in the house I grew up in, but in our current home our cealings are about eight feet tall. I kept finding beautiful trees, and Doug kept saying no because it was too big. We finally settled on a tree, brought it out to the edge of the farm, and the train came and picked us up!



We got the tree on the car and went home. We put the tree up and it was too tall! I had to trim the top of the tree just to make it fit. But it looks beautiful! Due to a family emergency, we have not been able to decorate it comepletely, but we will hopefully have the tree, and the rest of the house, decorated by this weekend.

Mia just loves the lights and was starring at me when I was putting them up! I am just so excited to have Christmas with her this year and every year from now on. I know she is still small, but having children for Christmas just seems like it will be so much fun!
