Yes, it is crazy, but one of the reasons we bought our house was because of the ceilings. If anyone of you truly know Nick and I, then you know that we are huge fans of Christmas. Our house has 15 ft ceilings in the front room, so we all know what that means? A tall Christmas tree.
We went out today to our normal spot in search of the perfect tree. We just go up to Rocky Mtn Rd. There is a farm there that specializes in nobles, (the only true kind) and he is very reasonably priced. We have been going there ever since our first Christmas in our house. So once again, we found ourselves on top of the mountain. Fortunately, it was a gorgeous day, chilly, but no rain, or clouds for that matter. I get lost, and wish I could mark contenders, but it only took us less than an hour to find the right one.
I have to laugh, because this is the second year that I've picked the tree, and the trunk is to big for our stand. This year, instead of Nick spending the entire day, shaving the trunk, we just went and bought a bigger stand. Nick says next year, we go by size of the trunk, and not by how tall it is. I love real trees, the smells, the feel, look, height, and the memories we make by taking the day and going on a quest for the perfect tree. If you have never actually cut down your own tree, maybe this year can be your first. Merry Christmas from us in the Northwest.

Hey there!! Your tree looks great and we think that it's great that you have the tradition of going as a family to pick and cut down that lucky tree every year... oh, if I were that tree in your home!
Traditions are what make this such a great time of year! Love you guys!!!
I glad to here we are not the only ones who go out to pick out a tree. The kids love being out and getting to pick it out then watch dad cut it down. It is one of our favorite traditions.
