Our CHRISTMAS Tree

On Saturday Dec. 1, the whole family packed into the car set out to find our Special Christmas Tree!
We headed down I-66 with no traffic worries (which was a delightful suprise) to WhiteTop, VA. The countryside where there were lots of farms and winerys.

We ended up at Ashcroft Tree Farm, which was georgous! Lots of trees to choose from and a beautiful pond and owners house that overlooked everything.

EA was overjoyed to be getting her Christmas Tree and to be the one that picks it out!!!

Jason got a saw, yes hand-held saw to cut down the tree....... and we were off in search of the perfect Christmas tree.

EA found one she liked....... estimated at about 30 feet!! OMG!! Can't blame her though it would be super nice but HELLO no way its gonna fit on the car nor in the house, so off on the search again.....

WE FOUND IT! Everyone loves the tree and we have decided its OUR PERFECT CHRISTMAS TREE!

Jason proceeds to cut the tree and before we know it, its a success!! We are hauling it off to be bailed and tied to the car.

Once we got home with our Perfect Christmas Tree, EA was super excited to decorate it and see it all light up!! Who can blame her I was excited too.

A litle suprise I discovered while trying to put lights on the tree....... OUCH its prickley!!!! First time I had to wear gloves to put lights on a Christmas Tree...... Well, you tell me what you think, it was definitely worth it!!

One little tid bit..... EA did a wonderful job decorating the tree! She even put 2 to 3 ornaments on the same branch..... its too cute and we plan on leaving her decorating style. WE LOVE YOU Elly Ann :)
