Christmas Tree Fetching

Our trip to the tree farm was so much fun! We first ate lunch at Carrows with my parents, Jo and Tom. My french toast was not wonderful but no harm, no foul. They serve a mean cup a joe and as far as I'm concerned that's all that really matters. So we fed our rumbly bellies and headed out to conquer the search of the mighty Christmas tree.

The trees this year were a little disappointing. They were a little funny, especially at the top, but we finally found one we liked. The kids also rode a camel and fed the animals in the petting zoo. Just for the record, geese are not nice birds.

I think we've been chopping down our tree for ten years now, at least! What a great tradition!


Joanna found her boyfriend tree


Tommy was very jealous. He put that little tree in it's place.


A dark picture turned ok via black and white. I would love a photo editor one of these days.

Kayley helped...


...and so did Cole



The glare was really getting to her


Well there's a camel


My mom and the camel had an understanding


There's nothing like a good camel ride

Fun! I love the look on Kayley girl's face in the second camel picture. I cannot believe how BIG they are.

What an awesome tradition! That would be so much fun cutting down your own Christmas tree. We're going to have to do that one of these years. Oh and a Camel? How random is that?! ha! The kids looked like they were having a blast and so HUGE! I can't believe how fast they grow!

I really like that last one of the kids. Nicely posed.
