The Great Christmas Tree Hunt 2019

We had quite the adventure getting our tree today, and are thankful we ended up with a tree by the end of the day!!

Heading out!

We found Loch Lolly tree farm last year and were looking forward to going back this year.
Annual "getting boot on sitting on the truck" photo! :)


Sadly the selection of trees was very small and we really struggled to find a tree big enough. But we had fun stomping around.
We found a tree that we basically "settled' on but the stump was too big so that one didn't work either. We all were so disheartened. We decided to take a lunch break and try another farm. 



We had a fun time and much needed time to get back into the Christmas spirit! And to find another tree farm to try and find a tree!

We decided on a Schmidlin Farms in Banks. I actually started to cry when we drove up..so many beautiful and big trees! It was hard to pick just one!! We were so happy!
Love these faces!
Found the one!!
Matthew insisted on getting a photo of me! :)
Love this lumberjack!:) 
The kids were a big help
...and silly!

Evelyn and Matthew took turns helping Doug carry the tree to the baler. 

Getting all wrapped up!
Setting up the Little People Nativity

My little elf... 



Love decorating with these two!
After we decorated, we watched our first Christmas movie of the season... Santa Claus is Coming to Town!



Time around the tree before bed...
All is calm, all is bright!!

Yay for Christmastime!
