christmas tree

We decided to try cutting down our Christmas tree this year. We went to a nearby farm and the kids loved wandering around looking for the perfect tree. We have always gotten a fraser fir but this year we cut down a Carolina Sapphire. It smelled really good and was big and bushy and pretty. But Ben and I both got rashes and tiny slivers on our hands and arms trying to get it home and strung with lights. It also ended up dying really quickly and is extremely flammable at this point. So I think it's back to the fraser fir next year.

I just loved this view out our front door after bringing the tree in. Some of our trees had just reached their peak of fall color.

Just a pretty shot of the sun going down in the yard.
