The Anderson's had to travel into the woods a little early this year. Three of the Anderson's are insanely busy people with schedules that must be respected. So we went out on the last day of November (*gasp*) to find the perfect tree.
We went back to Spenser's Tree Farm in Wakeman where the last 19 of our 20 trees have come from. It's gone through good times and bad out there with the tree selection. But no matter what, you can't beat the prices, service and the homemade cookie for your ride home.
It's a big place. We lost The Girl for a little while.
Everyone had their own opinions on what tree we should pick. This year there were three finalists that we were trying to pick between. The problem was they were all really far apart from each other. There was quite a bit of walking back and forth. But some people know how to travel.
Finally one tree was compromised on.
Not too big. Not too small. Not too fat. Not too thin.
The Girl was asked to hold up the tree while The Man sawed it down. He's laying on the ground behind the tree in these shots. You'll just have to take my word on it.
Oh no! Says The Girl. This tree is Sooooo heavy! How will I ever hold it up?
Uh oh! It actually is very heavy. *Ugh* I need help!
No worries, that's what brother's are for.
And that's it. The tree is down. Hey guy down there with the saw, you okay?
Never better. Another tree conquered.
Another successful Christmas Tree Day! Now to just get it home and make it pretty.
Bonus! This tree has many, many pine cones.
