Tree Shopping 2011

For the second year we headed to Barker's Christmas Tree Farm in Lexington to hunt for the perfect tree. This year we were super excited because our whole family was together to enjoy the Christmas traditions!!!!
And....we're off! Everyone in the wagon.
Whew! That didn't take long! Found the perfect one!
Time for daddy to cut the tree...this is his favorite part. Izzy wants to help :)
Matt gives Onah a shot at sawing the tree down. Team work, everyone got a turn.
While the tree is shaken out and tied up we get to enjoy a candy cane by the warm fire. Marie and Onah were freezing! Haha...
Decorating the tree. Onah and Marie couldn't figure out how to put on the ornaments and Izzy kept taking them off as quick as we put them on. By the time Christmas got here the bottom 1/4 of the tree was bare! I think next year we'll get a Scotch Pine that has really sharp needles!
It was fun to let Onah and Marie hang their own ornaments on the tree this year.
The finished product! It was a little crooked :) So proud of our work! I promise there are tons of ornaments adorning the tree you just can't see them.
