We went up to Portland for Christmas to spend it with family. My parents waited until we all got into town to get their tree. We went out to our usual tree farm to find our tree. Except something weird had happen to the trees. They had their middles eaten out of them. (Actually the tree farmer had taken the top branches out to use for wreaths). The tree farmer had so many tall trees, that you took a stick to measure how tall you wanted your tree and then you cut at that point. You were almost standing up right to cut you tree. Something I have never done before.
Weird sad looking trees, on the farm
The tree hunters (Pa2 is taking the picture) with the tree that we have chosen, and yes we joined hands and circle the tree singing to it. If you want to hear the song you can go to my facebook page and find it in video section.
Kallie and Jaron taking a turn at chopping down the tree. I asked dad where the newspaper was for when cutting down the tree. He said we won't need it. And as you can see you don't have to get on the ground to cut the tree down.
We went home and decorated the tree. Kelsie and Kallie got the privilege of putting the star on this year, they were so excited.
