Christmas Countdown: December 6

Today was one of my favorite parts of the Christmas season...time to get a tree!  Last year we happened upon a new-to-us place and we really liked it, so we went back there again this year, hoping they were open.  They were!  Just one guy and a big field of beautiful trees.  We got a 9-ish foot tree because we have nice high ceilings and it's such fun to get a big tree now that we have the space for it.  Also, I was so happy we got snow earlier this week because this tree farm is just magical with the snow-covered trees!

Evaluating trees and deciding how tall and how full we should go for
Picked a good one!

Jim and Ari screwing it into the base.  Just thought this was so cute. 😊
We have yet to put lights on or decorate; this is a busy weekend with most of us not all home at the same time till tomorrow night. So, we'll have to work on it then (or later in the week), but at least now we can cross "getting a tree" off the list!
