The thing I love about blogs is how easy it is to tell a story with pictures....so here goes a quick story about our search for the perfect Christmas tree the Oregon way. 
This year we decided to go to this tree farm and cut down our own tree (with a chainsaw and everything)! There is something extra fun about having this kind of experience...on the way to the farm we saw a helicopter lifting wrapped Christmas trees. That was pretty cool to see... 
We got our trusty measuring stick and set out on our search...a very muddy search. But it only lightly rained on us for about 10 minutes....yeah! They came straight from school so if you are wondering why Lauren is wearing white pants in the mud....that's why.
Parker wanted a red dead one this year.
Bennett wanted THIS one!
Lauren wanted this one...
We decided on this one! (Greg just told the kids that the trunk was much bigger than he thought.)
Everybody happy?
Greg and I carried our tree up the hill, paid the nice man, and heaved it onto the car!
Can you see the mud all over Bennett's pants? You know it didn't even bug us. We were all so happy to have found our tree!
