This year we continued our family tradition of cutting down our Christmas tree at Hensler Nursery across from Matt's school. We decided to bite the bullet and go during Thanksgiving weekend. We didn't really want to, since we knew it's the busiest weekend, but we also knew it was the best timing for us this year. Seems silly to put up your tree a week before Christmas...need time to savor it! (No offense intended if this describes you:) We couldn't have asked for nicer weather. Seems like every other year we have gone it is either a) really really cold, or b) snowing/blizzard-like conditions (and really really cold). This year it almost didn't feel right...the sun was shining...we wore coats but I'm not sure we really needed them. Anyhow...yes it was busy--far more so than we have experienced in the past--but it was still good. They have a gift shop and a few other things there along with some real reindeer and a little petting zoo, etc. Megan loved the animals. Picking out the perfect tree is always a challenge but we managed to make a decision and bring it home. I can't get enough of it! I love this time of year. Minus the bitter cold...but we deal with it :)
Matt even got ambitious and decided to put lights up on the house this year. Great job, babe!
We hope you're feeling the Christmas spirit too!
