We go to the same tree farm every year to get our tree. We usually go right after Thanksgiving but since Jared was sick this year we had to wait until Sunday. We like to cut one down so it stays fresh longer and I like the way it makes the house smell. This year the weather was perfect - not too cold but not too warm.
We rode the tractor around the large farm until we came to an area where we thought we would have some luck. We jumped off and started looking for THE TREE. We walked around and saw a few potential candidates. We were getting ready to head to another area when we stumbled upon not 1, not 2, but 3 candidates. After some serious discussion between the two kids, we settled on candidate #1. Jared gets the honor of cutting down the tree each year.

Nice job, buddy!

And it wouldn't be a Christmas tree outing with hot cider. 
I love holiday traditions. Don't you?
