The kids each picked out a tree to cut down for our front steps...and Brent picked one out for our patio. How fun that we live in an area where they can experience something like this around Christmas!
When I was growing up, I don't think I knew that you could have a real tree in your house for Christmas. There wasn't such a thing around us...that I remember anyway! Everyone had an artificial tree with painted metal tips to know where to place them within the stand. And mom or grandma would spend forever trying to bend the branches to fill in the empty spaces after the tree had been packed in a box for a year. I do remember having a real tree in our house once I was in high school...but I know they were not $20 like they all are around here!
Thank you to Nana, Papa, and Brent for taking Finley and Ace up north so they can experience finding their perfect tree! It's the little things like this that they will remember!
