Oh Christmas Tree

It's that time of year again. We cut down our tree and started getting ready for Christmas.

Normally, we have to wait to the weekend after Thanksgiving to get our tree and decorations up do to holiday travel.  This year, with Bennett's arrival, we stayed in St. Louis and are enjoying the 4 day weekend.

We headed down to Festus to Meert's Christmas Tree Farm to cut down our tree.  I guess everyone else had the same idea as me, get there early because everyone will be Black Friday shopping.  We decided not to wait for the tractor to take us to our tree type.

We walked over and started our search.  Amazingly enough the selection was good and easy.  We looked at just a few trees before we made our selection.

I swear this is a family of 4

After a few slices with the saw, Scott had the tree down and it was time to head back to the barn.  Gabe and I hung out checking out sticks and an empty creek while Scott tied the tree to the top of the car.

And just like that, we were headed home to watch the Husker game.
