The day after Thanksgiving, we headed down to our little tree farm.  Cousin Maggie was in town, she is so great with our kids! 

 

 

The last two or three years, the actually getting of the tree was a little traumatic (Brian takes it VERY seriously and takes a long, long time to choose the tree, which leaves me with kids who get grumpy). To avoid this, the tree farm lets you tag a tree in the Fall which was super nice.  Brian made it an extra long day for me the day he went to tag the tree, but on this end it was very nice to go out directly to our tree.
