THE MAIN EVENT...

So, last night our family finally got the chance to go out and get our tree. From previous experience this event always seems to to be the hardest decision of the year!!! As in years past, it is a known fact, we can never just go to one place and find the perfect tree; but it takes several stops to do the job. Which, I must include, is just fine with me, it's kinda fun to go on the search for a tree that fits our criteria. So speaking of criteria let me tell you ours. It must be very tall, not as tall as the Rockefeller Center tree, but close, very close!!!!! It also must be very full and wide. Wide enough that it becomes very difficult to pull through the netting machine. I'm sure you all know what that is!!! Well, this year it was very hard to find a tree in that range. The trees were either very tall and skinny or short and chubby. Which I find so adorable!!! But not for our house, maybe one day when I have an apartment with my best friend!!! hehehehe!! :) That's just our imagination going...I don't think we'll ever really want to leave home. Well back to the story, to say the least we were on the hunt. We went to several different places and were sorely disappointed; but, we were determined to find our tree. We finally stopped at this little nursery, and my brothers and I went running to the back of the lot thrilled with the fact that there were quite a lot of BIG trees!!! Actually way to wide for us that they actually looked oval, and not a Christmas tree shape at all. Well my brother Josh and I went over to a bunch a trees laying on the ground, we were still hopeful. :) Josh went to go pick up a few trees to look at and so did I...well, it just so happened that the tree I was about to pick up was supposed to be the bed of a tired little bird. Let's just say I almost had a heart attack when the bird, very annoyed, came flying out of the tree. Poor thing you might say...I say, my poor heart!!!! Well my tree wasn't the pick but, Josh was the finder of our very large, very wide, very perfect to us, Christmas tree!!!! We were all very thankful to have found our tree!!!
