Iverson Tree Farm by Belview, MN is where we go to get our tree.
This is the third year we have embarked on this adventure.
We have never been there when they are doing the sleigh rides (aka horse and trailer).
It was a beautiful December day with no snow and no wind. Temperatures were great... a perfect atmosphere for cutting a Christmas tree. (Well maybe not really... generally snow is more appropriate, but for the sake of the health of the kids we will take the warm weather!)
Shelly, Joe, and Jesse were visiting for the weekend so they got to enjoy the outing as well.
All these trees... it is amazing we seem to always find the "perfect one".
And then their is little guy whom I just can't seem to get enough of :)
We enjoyed our sleigh ride. The horses were huge!
Then off to the forest of trees we go. Marty as always did his manly duties and sawed away and strapped that tree to the top of the vehicle.
And here is the finished product.
I think we did indeed once again find the "Perfect Tree" for our home at Christmas.
The kids had a blast decorating it. It is a joy to see them get out all the decorations and oh so eagerly put them on the tree. The are now starting to get a collection of home-made (or preschool made) ornaments. They very much enjoyed looking at them and remembering when they made them.
And then here is my kitchen decorations. I just love the lights and the change of scenery. I just puts the spirit of Christmas in the air.
