The Perfect Tree

This is an outing we look forward to all year. Its rich with tradition for our family. We leave to get a "perfect tree" each year at the local tree farm while playing our favorite Christmas CD and singing along. When we get there, we make sure to walk lots and breathe in the fresh smell of pine and of course we are choosy. The more we walk, the greater the chance of getting a "perfect tree." When we get home, Daddy puts it in the stand while I start chocolate chips cookies in the oven. Once those are going, we start the Christmas music and decorate to the smell of freshly baking Chocolate chip cookies. After its all done, the next child in line gets to "top" the tree with the angel. This year was Kenna's first turn. We had so much fun and the tradition is something we all look forward to each year.
