O Christmas Tree

This year we continued our annual tradition of selecting our Christmas tree from the Richardson Tree Farm. It's a bit of a drive, but it's run by our friend Jean's family and it gives us a chance to see Jean & Jim. They make it a really fun experience. You pick up a saw and take a tractor ride out to the trees. After selecting from all the different kinds of trees and picking out your favorite, it's your job to saw it down! This year we were excited because the weather wasn't too bad and we FINALLY remembered to bring something for Matt to lay on when he cut down the tree!

This is Chips & Salsa's 3rd Christmas with us. For the past two years they were obsessed with drinking the tree water. Thankfully, they aren't interested this year. I'm so glad because tree water is really bad for pets! Plus it dried out the tree and they ruined my tree skirt because they'd push it into the water. We bought a new tree skirt at last year's after-Christmas-sale... looks like Salsa approves!
