This is my first blog. This is a photo of the family getting their Christmas Tree. We drove to Sparta, NC and picked out our very own. They take you to the tree lot on a tractor hay ride. You pick out your tree, tag it and they cut it down for you. Then they take you back down the hillside in the tractor where they tie up your tree and secure it to your car. While they do all of that you get to enjoy cookies and hot cider in a warm building. It was a great time. The kids enjoyed it too -really. You just can't tell in this picture. That is the actual tree that was decorated and displayed in our living room this Christmas.
