Christmas Tree Farm

Saturday we went Christmas tree shopping with Bonnie and the kids. It was a fun day, but I forgot how much work it is....and I didn't do any of the manual labor :)GOAT!!! A llama llama with no red pajama:We ogled the precut trees, but most of them were $90. They were beautiful trees:I forgot to take marshmallows with us. Fired. HA, no pun intended.Time to net the tree:

I bought a few wreaths while we were there. After they make the wreaths they soak them in white goo that looks like milk:
They made a snowman wreath too; Bonnie suggested I put one on our front door:

After Doug cut some branches off and made a couple clean cuts on the bottom, the tree was up and ready to go. It was a really fun day.....TA-DAAA!!!!That is....until I got a text and a picture from Bonnie on Sunday morning - the picture was titled "Timber!"


I feel to bad! I can't believe it fell! She said it took 4 towels to clean up all the water. I have fired Doug and myself from tree stand duty!

Aughhhh! That's too funny! Although I'm sitting here with a real tree we bought only a few hours ago...we've never had a "real" tree before and now I'm scared! How did it just fall over???

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond... we must not have tightened the screws into the tree enough. I've used these types of stands before and I've never had a tree fall over. Don't be scared!! I'm sure your tree is perfect :)
