Everything Ellison: Our Christmas Tree

Once again we made the trip to Alber's Tree Farm in search of our tree, and once again we found a great tree. We did search a little longer this year, but most of that was due to the fact that we decided to walk to the furthest section of the farm, but it was a beautiful sunny day, a first in our Christmas tree retrievals. The boys did great walking out and even helped carry the tree back, sort of. Eli held the tippy top and Evan held my hand while I carried the tree and John pretty much carried the full weight. It was a bit of a trek uphill, but we got the biggest tree we have every had. I ended up putting about nine strands of 100 white lights. It is a beautiful tree and we love to turn all the lights off and just look at how pretty it is. The boys did great helping hang ornaments and several have been rehung as they fall off the tree. They got some good practice helping McKenzie decorate the Evans' gimungous tree at their house!
