The Search for the Perfect Christmas Tree

On Sunday, Joel, Ayden and I went with Joel's mom to cut down a Christmas tree for her house. We have an artificial one with the lights already on it and love it. Growing up, we always had an artificial tree so I was curious to see how the tree searching and cutting experience would be. We met Joel's brother Brett and his girlfriend Tia at a tree farm in Cambridge where they planned to cut a tree too. The place was huge and there were a lot of trees to choose from. Ayden had a blast running around and grandma chased him around. He also kept wanting to pick up abandoned branches and drag them around behind him. It sure was cold though! It was about 22 degrees and there was a breeze. After an hour of walking around (and a little driving) to look at trees we found one and Joel cut it down. Then Brett and Tia found one they liked. We went to pay and found a cute wreath for our front door. They also had free yummy cookies and hot chocolate. It was a fun, but cold experience, and after that we drove home, had lunch, and took a nap :)
