Search for the PERFECT Christmas tree

A year ago Wednesday, Ashley and I closed on our new home! Things were so busy we did not have much time to spend decorating for Christmas. This year I was so excited to decorate and find the PERFECT tree! And so begins our Christmas tree adventure!

I decided that our perfect tree would not be found at a roadside stand, but in its natural state. So, this morning we loaded up the car and set out to Tomlinson tree farm!



It was such a fun place out in the country! Everyone was so friendly and helpful! Especially since they knew this was our first time cutting down a tree! We walked around for about 30 minutes until we found the PERFECT tree! We named him "Chuck."


 After a little sawing and dragging on Ashley's part and some encouraging words on my part, Chuck was ready to come home!


After a few broken light disasters and broken ornaments, Chuck was all finished. We are so proud of our PERFECT tree!



Chuck is quirky and colorful, just like his family. But we love him and he is just PERFECT!
