Advent Calendar Day #3, Part 1 - Tree Hunt



Day #3 was a busy one. It started after we picked Madison up from school. We headed straight to Manthey's Christmas Tree Farm to hunt for the perfect Michels Family Christmas Tree. The only thing missing was snow.



Um, that's sharp.



I can't say enough what an amazing place we live in. Here is Madison walking down the path at the tree farm with a gorgeous pink hue over Mt. Baker in the background. There is a rare place you can go in Ferndale and not see this beautiful view.



Ah-ha, we found it! We got a Normad Fir for the 2nd year in a row. We love them!


My bad...the cart is clearly marked with the words "NO RIDING ON CART". Seriously though, how could a parent keep a preschooler off of a cart like this? It was short lived and the tree was on it soon enough, no harm done.


It's almost too pretty to be real.


And another one.


Eric was feeling left out of the pictures so he posed with the tree.


Here goes....


Heave-Ho...


Ack, it's scratching my face....


Now it's scratching the car...at least it sounded like it was...


Made it!



 Now for the tie down.

A lovely Christmas Tree Hunt with the family. Now off to our next activity...
