We decided to start a new tradition this year. With the advice of Cory, we went to this precious Christmas Tree Farm in Terrell and cut down our own tree. We really had no expectations and the trip ended up being a blast. It was so much fun for us and the kids. The farm was so cute, a huge red barn where they sold cider, hotdogs, home picked pecans, and hot cocoa. They had Christmas music pumping everywhere, a huge playground, and hundereds of acres of Trees to choose from. A wagon picked us up at the main barn and we hopped on and headed down to a tree pasture. There we grabbed a saw and started looking for the perfect tree. We already have a big ol fake on in the family room so we decided to let the kids pick out their own tree for their gameroom. We said it had to be taller than Colton and shorter than Mommy. So they found the cutest 5 ft tree and whacked it down. Then we all carried it to the wagon/hayride and headed back to the barn. There were these sweet puppies roaming around the barn too. I talked to the owner who said that their mommy will be having another litter in Feb. We fell in love w/ the puppies. Since Chloe passed away last week, we've been talking lots about getting a new puppy. I got their phone number...we may be getting one of their puppies next year:) All in all it was just a great day; ended with dinner at Chilies and chocolate shakes for the kids. Good times :)
