Christmas Tree Farm

Every year we head out to Farmer Brown's Christmas Tree Farm in search of the perfect Schwenke Family Christmas Tree. We load up the truck and fill our travel mugs with hot cocoa. This year is the first time Auntie Sarah has not joined us...since she lives in Thailand. We missed having her there with us.
For some reason we have a hard time agreeing on what the "perfect" tree really looks like. We tend to spend way too much time wandering around the huge farm in search of THE tree. When we find one we like we try to remember where it is and then go see if there are any others better than that one. But we usually want to go back and find the first one and usually can't seem to find it.
This year we were on a mission. It was cold. We had a 7 week old baby with us that wanted to have some mommy milk very soon. We had to make it quick. We found our tree in record time and still had fun! Kyle LOVED measuring the trees with his tape measure and he enjoyed walking through the "forest" (as he called it)
We found a great tree and we can't wait to decorate it!
It was a success!
And I am thankful for my handsome husband and cute helper that did all the sawing and lifting. I just got to cuddle the baby the whole time :)
