Kids Picking it Out

Thanks for the post from Margie Kline

Every year Christmas comes around and we go shopping for the largest tree we can find. Since I have two boys, they love the trip almost more then I do. They run around the Christmas tree yard and work on picking out the tallest, fattest tree they can. There is always this same tree yard down the street from us that we have turned into a tradition to visit. Before we leave, I set the security alarm (adt Denver cellguard) to ensure the gifts waiting to grace the bottom of our new tree is safe, and then we head down the street to find our perfect tree. It's always a fun experience since the boys get to touch and smell the different types of trees, exploring the true smell of Christmas. They even get the opportunity to trim it from time to time. They love getting to help the workers trim the bottom of the tree, and any large branches that are hanging too wide to get it inside our home. This year, we moved into a new two story so the opportunity to get an even taller tree is there, so I can't wait to see just how massive our tree ends up being this year.
