Well I decided that this year I wanted a REAL TREE! New House, New Tradition! (Insert Huge Smiley Face Here) My Husband wasn't really sold on it, but I only had to ask five or six times before he finally caved in! (Insert Even Bigger Smiley Face Here) But I didn't only want a real tree... I wanted the EXPERIENCE too!
After a few days spent with my good friend Google, I found a Christmas Tree farm! I was so excited! The cherry on top was when I realized the Littles would be able to see Santa while we were there! Yay! Finally, we were able to take a step back from everything that was overwhelming us and make some priceless memories together... on Bug's TENTH BIRTHDAY! *BONUS!!*
So we loaded up in the Hubby's SUV and headed to the farm!
The end result: I love our Christmas tree... the Mr. loves our Christmas tree... and most importantly, the Littles all love our Christmas tree! We just might never go back to an artificial one!
I know this post is rather lengthy, but let's just say that I'm making up for my extended absence... I mean, that's a good excuse, right? Thanks so much to everyone for sticking with me! I've thoroughly missed my writing time! I want to leave you with this... Don't get so deep in the dark waters of hollow Holiday obligations that you miss the bright radiant light of what matters most: cherish the time you have with your loved ones, give a lot more than you receive, and celebrate our Savior's birth above all else!
Merry Christmas from Our Family to Yours!!!!
God Bless!!!
