Christmas Tree Harvest

This year since we live in an area that has some amazing Christmas trees we decided to go a little earlier and try our hands at chopping one down ourselves. In La Center, WA there are quite a few Christmas tree farms so we went just North and found a really cool farm just outside of town. They had everything you could ever think of to cut down your own tree, hot chocolate, candy canes, and even a little theater that was playing Scrooge (the one with Donald Duck).


They even had the cardboard to kneel down on, because it was really muddy.




Our tree couldn't be more than 6ft. to fit in the car so Preston had a good time measuring which ones we could get. This one would have fit, but we decided to go with one a little bigger:)



Preston even helped Shad cut the tree down:)

I think it was just a tad bigger than what we had planned for:)
BUT IT FIT!!!!




The finished product!!!!!!!

I love my kids

Wow!!! So I totally failed at the whole posting every Sunday thing:) Well I will start trying to be better about posting.

Lately Preston has been really helpful with Bonnie. Mostly Bonnie just really likes ANYTHING that has to do with Preston, so I can just let her hand out by him and he makes her laugh. A couple of weeks ago I was doing something in the kitchen and heard Bonnie laughing. This is what I came out to....

Times like these make me feel so grateful that I have Preston as a child. He is so kind, loving, and caring for his sister as well as most people he comes across. I LOVE THIS KID!!!!!!!
