Olmstead Christmas Tree Farm


To our great delight (or at least mine and Julius!), we went to a tree farm and cut down our very own tree!! It was really neat to walk through all of the trees and find one just right for us!
Nick got a little tired of my indecision!
But we did finally get a tree and Nick got to cut it down with a handsaw :) luckily the trunk was not too thick...of course Nick might beg to differ :)
Julius loves this little ornament, so it hangs on the bottom of the tree just for him to grab :) he lost interest in the decorating pretty quick! He went and played with his toys after about 3 minutes :)

Nick sporting his ugly Christmas sweater that I made for his work party...apparently I made it too matchy so people actually complimented him on it instead :)
We had a lot of fun decorating the tree and so far Julius has only broken 3 ornaments! Can't believe Christmas is less than a week away!!

I know, and how about a whole pic of the tree? What's with you and the sparse trees? Not that it's bad - you can always make anything look good! J is very cute in his Christmas jammies!
