Our Christmas Tree

Poor Ella Bear doesn't just get one flu shot like the rest of us. No, she needs her regular flu shot (like you and I get) and a booster shot. She's gotten both now, last Tuesday was the day of her booster shot. Scott took off work a couple hours early so he could come along to the doctor's office (down in Northfield). We decided since we were heading all the way down to Northfield, that we would stop at Hampton Hills Tree Farm on our way home and cut down our Christmas tree (Yay!).

Thankfully Ella wasn't too grumpy after her flu shot... though she wasn't her normal smiley, happy self. We searched and search for the perfect Christmas tree (and almost cut down two other trees) before we found the perfect tree for our home. It was so much fun getting a real tree. I grew up with real Christmas trees. We always went and searched for the perfect tree and it often took lots of searching and debating until we found the perfect tree. It was very exciting to start this tradition for our family!


This is the first tree that we really thought was perfect, however after we snapped about ten pictures in front of the tree we decided it wasn't perfect and moved on.

Scott was in charge of cutting down the tree... once we finally found it.
At least this year he wasn't laying in the snow (he's had to do that a few times when we went with my family to get a tree).


Ella and I watched!
