It was muddy!
Uncle Richie, Ella & Liv taking a ride on big red over to the tree farm.
Let the hunt for the tree that would be calling our name begin!
Uncle Todd, or Clark if you will, using the ole' saw to cut our tree down.
Everyone watching the VERY TALL tree come down.
And there she is, she's a beaut!
My Loves!
We've made it to the cabin for snacks!
And to all our amazement, got a fun group shot of entire clan, yahoo! This might have been take 4 =) But we got it!
This was our 2nd year(and hopefully tradition,) of tagging along with The Wells to a Christmas Tree farm that Mr. Wells =) has been tree hunting since he was a little boy. Another link we have to this tree farm is that our other close friends, The Ruffs, are also familiar with the tree farm, because my friend Laura's husband works with the Owner of the farm. The land Theodore owns is amazingly beautiful, and hands down one of the best chunks of land in Colbert, WA. The kids had a blast and ran around the small, lovely smelling, & muddy forest for almost an hour. What's more exciting is that because both of these families know the owner, he got his cabin ready for us after we cut down our trees. As if just the land wasn't enough to be in ah of, he also has a tiny little cabin next to his house. It is so cute! It's very traditional, and feels so cozy even though your nose is cold because the only heat is a fireplace. We brought snacks/treats and hung out in the cozy cabin for an hour or so. After we were all stuffed on cheese/crackers, apple slices, raspberry & choco/carmel oat bars, and cocoa, we called it a day! Of course the cherry on top would have been if it were snowing, but it was wonderful just the same. I'm loving our silvery green charlie brown tree, and it smells so good!
