Christmas tree hunt

It is our annual family tradition to cut down our own tree.  We all love it.  It always happens on the weekend following Thanksgiving.

We load up in the van and visit Haring Tree Farm--a great place to find a tree.  We like Douglas Firs and can always find a good one there. 

I'm a big fan of Charlie Brown trees--not too many branches. It's better for hanging ornaments. This year's tree wasn't quite as sparce as I'd have like it to have been, but the masses ruled on this one.

Once the tree is found, Jeff cuts it down, it's shaken and bagged.  We load it onto the van and take it home for it's decorating later in the weekend.
