Fetching Tree

  • Four Helpers - Every year we go with our four kids. This year, we had to import Kaylah and Hannah to round out the four.
  • Searching - We're hunting the elusive best tree.
  • Brent's favorite tree, two years in a row
  • Jamison's Tree - Jamison poses by his favorite tree. Yeah, it's still there, too.
  • Charlie? - Ashley and Kaylah show some love for Charlie Brown's tree.
  • Jump Shot - Ashley's traditional "jump shot." This time, she's joined by Hannah and Kaylah.
  • Cutting - The tree has been selected and I'm cutting it down. So thankful the ground is fairly dry.
  • Non-Binding - Jamison pushes the tree to keep the saw from binding -- a huge help.
  • Serious Business - Felling a Christmas tree is serious business. *<:-D
  • Hauling - View from the back of the tree as we haul it back to the car.
  • Waiting - The tree is up and waiting for decorations.
  • Christmas Tree Farm

Every Christmas season, we drive into the hills west of Portland, find a Christmas tree farm, and cut down a tree. Last year we found another farm. It’s a little farther than we used to go, but their selection of noble firs is incredible (maybe because they’re so far out, and up). We decided to try the same place again this year and were not disappointed.

Now it’s time to decorate our tree. *<:-)

Update: Click the picture below to view the farm in Google maps and get directions.

Thanks to Ashley for taking many (most?) of these pictures.
