My family headed out to Matthes Evergreen Farm for our annual Christmas tree search. A favorite holiday tradition of mine, no snow yet for a good ol' snowball fight, but we managed to find fun anyways.
Big Joe greeted us.
Dad points out a good one.
Hot cocoa break.
Angelus picks a perfect tree!
Concolor Fir is our usual selection. It smells great, like evergreen and citrus. The needles are soft, not sharp and murderous. Also they tend to not drop a lot of needles.
Angelus and his cousins: Ena, Emma Lynn, Scottie, Anicia & China.
Back home, Twilight pretentiously considers our selection. I don't think she approves.Decorated unveiling tomorrow!
I love the smell of fresh trees.. it seems to make the home that much more festive. although I have resorted to only wreaths and garland in the past years, unless I am able to get a tree that I can plant afterwards. I am afraid if I did that every year I would have a forest in my back yard. Looking forward to the decorating.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the tree hon As is right now we cannot or my husband will not allow us to have a real tree we live in a small trailer and he is worried about fire hazards which i understand I guess I will have to go shopping for some pine oil to make my tree smell as close as possible my grandpa always had a real one It always turned out beautiful he fixed his with blue lights and silver bulbs and had some bubble lights What a lovely tree it was YOur fritta looks delicious.
