The perfect tree.....a little early!!

It was a beautiful day yesterday and we figured we would beat the rush and head out to get our tree!! Who says you have to wait until AFTER Thanksgiving??? Since we'll be leaving early to spend Christmas in Washington we wanted to get our tree up as soon as possible. We headed out to Pocahantas, il (yes, the home of Gretchen Wilson, if anyone cares). The kids loved riding the tractor out and picking, and then sawing down our own tree. It reminded me of being a kid when i would head out with my fam and do this very same thing. So, we may have started Christmas a little early, but I LOVE the way it looks in our house now.
