Its begining to feel a lot like Christmas!!







As Christmas traditions go, today was the day my family and I loaded into the truck and headed out past Redland to get our Christmas tree! This is one of my favorite parts of the Christmas season. Haha, so, the one and only request Todd had, (being the one who had to carry the tree back) was that we don't pick one all the way out on the "North 40"(my mom's slang for really far away, dont' even ASK where that saying came from) and that it wasn't too heavy to load. So we spend about 15 minutes looking for the perfect tree, when out of the corner of my eye, I see the most beautiful tree in the WORLD! The only problem was... it DID happen to be out on the "North 40" and it was HUGE!!! We're talking about 11ft tall and big and fat and perfect as far as Nobles go. It only took me a little coercion on my part I finally got mom to agree on this tree (she's the official tree Nazi... we've NEVER had a tree mom wasn't happy with) Haha.. it only took Todd 20 minutes to saw through this fatty of a tree trunk, and then While he went and got the truck, Wendy and I drug it about 50ft, and MAN THAT SUCKER WAS HEAVY! HOLY KATZ!!! Hope you enjoy the pictures, and are enjoying this Christmas season!!
