We finally got our Christmas tree today! We usually buy one on Thanksgiving weekend, but withLawrence and Joshua's birthday party that same weekend, we waited for a less busy time. We went to Peltzer Pines in Irvine, picked our tree and they cut it down for us. I've never gotten a tree this way so it was quite an experience. Sometimes we found "the perfect tree" only to find out that another family thought it was perfect too. And so our search continued. We finally found one and brought it home!
i learned from an article in the newspaper that it takes 3-4 years to grow a Christmas tree! the trees right behind joshua are obviously not available for picking.

So fun! What a great tradition.
I'm curious, how much did your tree cost? We went to a tree farm here and they give you a saw to do your own. All trees are $30. Needless to say we brought it home and found out that we picked a crooked tree. Our once 9 foot tree is now 6 feet as we had to cut off a great deal to get it to stand up straight!
